Does the Irish prison system work for women?
Manage episode 446652462 series 2196466
UK Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood has said that she believes “prison isn’t working” for women.
She points out how, after serving a short custodial sentence, a woman is “significantly more likely” to reoffend than one given a non-custodial sentence.
So, if that is the case in the UK, is prison working for women in Ireland?
Andrea is joined by Saoirse Brady, Executive Director of the Irish Penal Reform Trust as well as former prisoner Gillian to discuss.
