    What makes you think the "officers" don't notice?

    where do you think they get half the stuff from?
    A friend of mine's brother is in Limerick Prison (her brothers a bit of a dangerous nutter tbh) and he was sold a mobile phone by the prison guards. Can't remember how much he paid but the prices read like a shopping list - sim card E100, old phone E250 and new phone E450 or something of that order.

    These guards are already on seriously high money so they should all be given the sack and prison time if it can be proven...

    Your a sack, as usually the prison officer on high money comes out.

    Simple fact, if there was overtime in your job and you workd you earn.......extra money, well done.
    So when a prison officer works massive amounts of over time he/she just gets
    "paid seriously high money".

    Secondly would anyone one here like to go in a **** hole everyday and watch the scum off Ireland???? Have them spit on you and abuse and in some cases threaten to kill you and your family.

    Which brings me to the next way prisoners can get this stuff in and keep it.
    Say for instance a prisoner comes to you and tells you that you lovely little daughter Sarah gets outta of your local school at 3 and if you dont get him something she ll disappear????? What would you do?

    John Gilligan threatened two prisoner officer with such conviction that one has now left the country and the other has made his house into a fortress in fear all because they would not open the tuck shop especially for him on a Sunday.

    The prisons are the way they are because the governement dictates that a prison has this right and that right and protects them more than the men and women who keep them from the public.

    Instead they should get a bed a toilet and thats it.

    I was told that the going rate in portlaoise from the prison gaurds for a mobile phone is €500. From a person I know that knows somone inside.

    It was claimed that this prison was was supossed to be one of the most secure prisons in europe..

    If this is true it is a major scandle
