The focus is on the Dochas.

The female prison. Looks like a fairly cushty set up compared to its next door neighbour, Mountjoy.

Some sad and seriously fúcked up cases in there though.

Any of the regular women here in After Hours know them having spent time there?

House of Blaze · 08-09-2014 10:13PM

Used to work in a solicitors office which had a number of 'clients' in the dochas centre, even a few famous ones!

Not the sort you would really be too keen to ask an autograph from though...

did it show the scissor sisters?
legends they are.

There has to be some way to intervene to stop the cycle of crime, addiction and hopelessness that plagues some people from the tougher sections of society .

Education has to be they key but people seem to think there is no point in trying to be better.

Looks nothing like the video's I've seen of women in prison.

Or how about two autographs on the one page and asking to borrow a scissors to seperate them.

Learning that wearing pyjamis in broad daylight on the outside doesn't open as many doors as it might on the inside would be a good start.

I wonder if thats where the pyjama wearing craze began. After all, there's feck all to dress up for in there.

Looks fairly cushy compared to the conditions in Mountjoy.

Gender equality my arse.

You have to get banged up with the Munster women down in Limerick for that.

The Purveyor of Truth · 08-09-2014 10:29PM

I wish it was among them that I did dwell.

I agree that these women can be their own worst enemy but It's just so sad.
They don't believe themselves that they deserve better.

Lapin · 08-09-2014 10:32PM

Bad and all as Limerick is, at least the rooms have tea and coffee making facilities.

Lisha · 08-09-2014 10:33PM

Ah jaysis.

eviltwin · 08-09-2014 10:34PM

What are they in for?

Strumms · 08-09-2014 10:34PM

Jeez I've stayed in worse Travelodges then that and some.

Hitchens · 08-09-2014 10:34PM

McGrath5 · 08-09-2014 10:37PM

Ans then upon release your one collects her dole and buys a nagging of Jameson straight away, sad.

The robbin and the fightin.

tayto lover · 08-09-2014 10:38PM

With no place of their own to stay when they get out it's only a matter of time before they are back inside. Very sad.

wiseoldelf34 · 08-09-2014 10:53PM

are the feloni girls still in there??

Tail Docker · 08-09-2014 10:54PM

The noise. The endless, screeching noise. Just.shut.the.fcuk.up. I pity the Guards..

Are you in there right now?

angelj · 08-09-2014 11:00PM

It's pretty depressing isn't it? Some of the women look like they've lived hard lives. I feel sorry for the children of prisoners who don't have their mums at home each day. That must have an impact on the subsequent generation..

I suppose the main difference would be you're allowed to leave a Travelodge after a night or two though, yeah?

A lot of parents of children taken into custody at the dochas centre are allowed bring their children in with them...

I s**t you not!

Looked like a holiday camp.
