Still thinking about this powerful piece of writing and performance I saw earlier 👏
It's a raw, emotive and hardhitting play portraying the reality of prison life, ongoing trauma for people inside and puts the work of @IPRT @PACE_IRL @AVP_Ireland & other colleagues into focus
Our friends @brokentalkers return to Dublin at The Ambassador Theatre from April 17 - 18.
The Examination draws on historical research and testimony from current and former prisoners as well as Willa White's own experience of incarceration and recovery.

‘Today, the population is nearly 5,400 — with the result that very many prisoners are being held in conditions that can be described as inhuman and degrading’ @IPRT

Fantastic to mark 10 years of the Traveller Justice Initiative today with @SSGTIrl and Anne Costello as @IPRT officially takes over the hosting of this groundbreaking project. It feels like it's come full circle and we look forward to building on this impactful work 💪

Every year, @OIP_Ireland is required by Statute to submit its annual report to the Minister for Justice by the end of March. Yesterday, the OIP submitted its 2024 report to Minister @OCallaghanJim of @DeptJusticeIRL
This new report should be published “as soon as practicable”.

"There are basic standards to which any alleged liberal democracy purports to observe, and by any hallmark, those standards are being completely ignored right now in how people are detained."

Great to be at @dcediy today for the consultation on next strategy for women and girls and hear from Minister @NormaFoleyTD1. A great opportunity to highlight the many intersectional issues @iprt sees impacting women in the criminal justice system that need to be addressed.

Lovely to catch up with our Vice Chair @ashlinggolden of @SolasProject in @DeptJusticeIRL today at discussion on young adult diversion.
@IPRT looks forward to working with Minister of State for Youth Justice @NiallCollinsTD who said a few opening words to the forum.

A quick review of just published @OIP_Ireland 2023 report lays bare the sheer scale of human rights violations and degrading treatment due to overcrowding across the prison estate. Most concerning, the information dates from 2023 before record overcrowding and conditions worsened
The Annual Report of our Office for 2023 (submitted to the previous Minister for Justice on 29 March last year) has just been published by Minister @OCallaghanJim of @DeptJusticeIRL who I had the pleasure of meeting this afternoon:
