.@IASIO_Ireland has become TOSÚ - with a renewed commitment to work for new beginnings for people with convictions in Ireland.
A pleasure to meet CEO @sharan_kelly at the launch of TOSÚ’s new strategic plan.

Great to see Justice Minister @OCallaghanJim commit to alternatives to prison early in his term. Prison isn’t always the answer - especially for non-violent offences. More community sanctions & support services are needed to break the cycle of reoffending. thejournal.ie/justice-minist…

Nearly 20% of people in Cork Prison are still without a bed.
Sleeping on a mattress on the floor, while having to share unpartitioned toilets with multiple cellmates is unacceptable and demeaning situation that no one should have to endure.

This is a really timely @irishexaminer spotlight article by @CormacJOKeeffe highlighting the reality of appalling prison conditions and the impact on people living in cramped cells as well as the effect on staff charged with their care. The incoming Government must take note.
“When he goes to the toilet I sit and watch telly and have my back to him, to give him some privacy.”
No immediate end in sight to overcrowding crisis in prisons
