Is that that just the case in Irish law? I know of a Cat AA prisoner in England who is banged up 23 hours a day like many others. His issue is he refuses to co-operate with authorities as he says he's wrongly convicted for a triple murder.Firstly, the main cost of prisons is not "luxuries", it is security.
If you put them all in prisons 23 hours a day you would be in contravention of human rights law, and the outcome would be compensation for those prisoners.
Yet another fella whose ideas utterly fail the "reality" test.
