Not really of much use. When or if these scum are in prison they have better facilities incl Sky tv and access to a top class gym. So it is just another holiday. :mad:

When they are in prison they cannot harm other motorists or anyone else. That's what prison is for, to keep offenders away from the general public.

This isn't in the least bit true.

You should go and do the tour of Mountjoy (if they still do them?) and have a look at the conditions. Although the women's prison has the look of student accommodation, the men's prison is something from Dickens' time.

There is a tiny shared TV in the common area but it does not have Sky.

50 a month for sky, so 600 a year. 75k ÷ 600 = 125 TVs. So we have roughly 125 sky enabled TVs in the prison service. And about 8 or so prisons. Yeah they are living it up alright.

punisher5112 · 08-01-2017 05:13PM

It keeps them from taking it out on the guards.

If they give them it all it makes their job a lot essier.

They won't be paying 50 euro per tv, they will pay that for the main one and the rest or certainly a good amount will be multiroom subs which are considerably less.

It's been stated by the prison service that it's for the prisoners. Sky in common areas and free to air in their cells.

True. See that 75k? Take the TVs away and see how much one hour of rioting in each prison costs. 75 k will look cheap.

Punishment on top of punishment, eh?

I don't think you realise the purpose of prisons. They are not places of torture.

So realistically what can be done with people that drive with no tax or insurance...person living near has been driving years with no tax,insurance or nct for years and I am sure many more doing the same..he has been caught 3 times and had 3 cars taken off him..all he does is buy some rust bucket the next day and is back on road...he gets fined but doesn't pay, the longest he has spent in prison was 4 months ...yet he still continues to drive..where we are guards are in station only 2 days a week ..he changes car so often they don't know what he does be driving...it was a mini bus last week &#55357;&#56900;

billie1b · 08-01-2017 08:25PM

I've done a tour of the joy within the last 6 months, in some cells they have televisions, playstations, x-boxes, dart boards, unlimited amounts of dvds that they can choose from the common room, one cell a lad has a fish tank in it! They get what they want, when they want, they have more power than the wardens now due to the PC brigade and softies not letting them be treated like the yobs that they are!

Community Service on top of a ban and fine

Let them pick up rubbish thrown by other scumbag motorists along the roads

Can't because its against their human rights and they would just sue the state like some are from their cells stating they are deplorable conditions.... Yada yada rubbish .....

So call the Gardai and keep them informed then.

a savage round of beatings would also do that, I'd prefer we let the guards do that.

If they asked him to step out could be in door card or centre console. Somewhere in view anyway unless the patted him down.

I done this 5 years ago. It wasn't picking up rubbish either, bloody cushy out so it was

I was given the option of doing 120 hours of community service or 3 months inside.

I know if I opted for the time i'd have been out in a few days at worst but I still preferred my freedom as I had a 2 month old baby back then as well as 2 other kids.

Long story short of the 120 hours I got I was lucky if I done half that amount, it was done in 3 weeks.

Thank god Garda Traffic twitter accounts weren't as popular then as today.

The local guards only know right well...they nick him when they can or are around...they would need to sit outside his house to stop him..car gets towed impounded he gets brought to court gets a fine and suspended sentence or a few weeks inside...he knows what roads the checkpoints are on and sticks to the local back roads...he has saved a fortune on tax and insurance.

I'd probably shoot you first then ask questions

He must have been a dodgy fcuker for the guards to make an issue of the knife. It's not at all unusual for someone to have a knife in the car particularly in a rural area.

Exactly. My dad carries a fairly large knife to open bales of silage.

Got stopped and searched by Gardaí in my car in 2007, it was a boy racer type car therefore I drew attention to myself.

I had a knife in the car which was discovered during the search.

After a few questions about why I had it etc, I was allowed on my way with the knife intact.

So yes you are right, they won't always take a knife if you can show you are in possession of it in a public place for a lawful reason.
