Orange is the new Burke

If they still have their passports and had their ESTA approved before the decision to jail them, they might be on their way to Washington for Paddy's Day as we speak.

“The whole idea of having been homeschooled as though it is the primary reason for their behaviour is frankly absurd,”

I never claimed homeschooling was the cause.

Ahh I know you didn’t, it was more a general comment on the few posts that led up to your post saying he never had a chance, as though Enoch deserves any sympathy whatsoever for his current predicament. No such sympathy would be extended to anyone in his current company, and at least 70% of them were educated in a formal setting, where socialisation doesn’t appear to have moderated their attitudes and behaviour either -

Lost his privileged status in the new inmates section of Mountjoy due to his behaviour. They considered him unsafe in the main prison,so he's been transferred to a single cell in Castlerea.

They're all a shouty crew like the mother.

From X extra.ie…

Enoch Burke lost his ‘enhanced prisoner’ status due to his behaviour while on a court visit, the High Court has heard. The former teacher then had to be moved to Castlerea Prison, as there was nowhere safe to hold him among the general, overcrowded prison population in Mountjoy, Judge Brian Cregan was told. Mr Burke has claimed that his transfer earlier this month was unlawful, but this has been firmly denied by the Irish Prison Service (IPS).

Barrister David Perry yesterday read a sworn statement from Don Culliton, director of operations at the IPS. Mr Culliton noted that Mr Burke was committed to Mountjoy in Dublin on January 19 this year for contempt of court, having failed to obey the order to stay away from his former school. He said the IPS operated an ‘incentivised regimes policy’, in which prisoners were given basic, standard or enhanced status.

On February 26, a review of Mr Burke’s behaviour was carried out by prison authorities. ‘The review found that the behaviour exhibited by the defendant while escorted to court failed to meet the required standard,’ he said. This standard included compliance with all reasonable instructions, and co-operation with staff, he added.

Accordingly, on February 27, Mr Burke dropped to the standard regime. Following a risk assessment, Mr Culliton said, ‘it was deemed that the defendant was not suitable for accommodation in the general population of Mountjoy Prison as he would face risks to his own safety’. He required a single-occupancy cell, but Mr Culliton said Mountjoy was at 135% capacity, with 83 prisoners sleeping on the floor. Mr Culliton said he ordered the transfer of Mr Burke to Castlerea Prison in Co. Roscommon on March 1 for his own safety and protection. Mr Burke is currently in a single cell, he said.

Mr Burke responded that the court order under which he had been imprisoned stated that he must be taken to Mountjoy and detained there until he purged his contempt. He claimed it was wrong to treat him as a criminal when he was behind bars due to a civil offence, with no trial and no sentence. Mr Burke said he had been accused by prison officials of stalling on leaving the courtroom, when he had only been trying to take legal papers being given to him by his brother, Isaac Burke. He said the second alleged misconduct related to how he had spoken to Judge Cregan on February 20 – which he said was ‘an attempt by the prison service to punish me for being vocal in court’.

Enoch Burke tells High Court his move from Mountjoy has no basis in law. He noted that ‘no particular prison is a paradise’, saying he had witnessed regular ‘fist fighting’ and drug use at Mountjoy. Judge Cregan asked him again if he would purge his contempt. When he refused, the judge said it was a ‘tragedy’ that Mr Burke was ‘wasting’ his life in prison. Judge Cregan said he would give his judgment regarding the lawfulness of the transfer on Wednesday of next week.

I'm assuming the hearing may have been by AV link from Castlerea.

Daddy's mechanic will have to cancel the recurrent order for service items and wheel bearings now that he's close and there's only video court attendance.

I'd love to see the outcome of them giving backchat to the authorities over on that side of the Atlantic.

Terminal outcome likely…

Imagine the scene in the Joy when the new prisoner saw who he was to cell-share with, before Enoch was moved to Castlerea. A clear case of cruel and unusual punishment.

Holy nutjobs Batman!

All her own work?

There is no arguing with that level of indoctrination.

Like someone typed into AI "write me 10000 words that make me look like a complete religious loon."
