    In particular, it said the killing of Gary Douche in Mountjoy Prison in the summer of 2006 was "a tragic illustration of the unsafe nature of certain prisons in Ireland".

    It also found that conditions of detention were degrading in many cells in Cork, Mountjoy and Limerick prisons, with prisoners still forced to defecate in chamber pots in the presence of other inmates.

    The committee said that while the majority of people it met in Garda custody did not have complaints about their treatment, a "considerable number" of those arrested alleged that they received verbal or physical ill-treatment.

    The report says: "The alleged ill-treatment consisted mostly of kicks, punches and blows with batons to various parts of the body.
    In fairness, the killing of Douche was done by other prisoners. Who's to say the majority of the beatings were also not done by other prisoners? The last thing you are going to do if you are going in for a stretch is finger Jonno O'Crack Dealer for giving you a few licks.

    Irish prisons are not nice places, but we aren't talking about run of the mill criminals, we're talking about habitual career criminals, the ones with three generations of the family behind bars, the ones that step right back into a life of crime when they get out. Prison is zero deterrent to these people.

    Ship them off to sunny South East Asia, I say, nothing like spending your bird in a ten foot by ten foot concrete cell with half a dozen third world criminals, and no ventilation, in tropical conditions. Having to shit in a pot will be the least of their worries.
