You don't escape from an open prison, you abscond.

That fcuking Independent gets worse every day.

I knew a lad was down in Loughan House says he went down to Blacklion for a haircut and when he came back up they didn't recognise him and he had to sleep in a barn. Probably bull, but a good story.

Maybe someone with an insight into the prison system could clarify this: once caught, is he less likely to be out in two years than he was before now?

(Report says he was given eight, served four, due out in two)

Typical Ireland?

Oh yeah, jail escapes are only happen here....

SEPT 23 1989

At Duncan's sentencing hearing in Dublin Circuit Court in 2010, evidence was given that he had his ankles and knees sledge-hammered by unhappy people over the loss of the drugs seized by gardai at the Swiftwood Apartments, Saggart

no previous conviction sentencing nonsense there

I am aware escapes happen everywhere,

but the point I was making was that

putting a major crim in an open facility is a classic ireland move :pac:

Happens everywhere when prisoners come towards the end of their sentences, it makes sense to do it, frees up real prisons for new criminals and prisoners coming towards the end of their sentence are less likely to flee. Unlike the fella in this thread, who probably isn't too bright

Cavan is so far away from civilization that it's like escaping from the Gulag. Not worth it

No different than any other sentence.Four years on the outside=three years inside,hence someone sent down for an 8stretch will only serve 6years.(provided they don't act the bollix in there) Its called automatic remission.
What with likely happen to this chap when he hands himself in or gets caught will be that he will get maybe 6months tacked on to his existing sentence and will serve the remainder of the sentence in a secure facility.That extra 6months however can,and more often than not does run concurrent,so his release date will probably remain the same.
