Students from the LLM course, Imprisonment and Rights, and the undergraduate course, The Protection of Prisoner Rights under International Law, visited Limerick Prison on Thursday 16th March 2023 with their module convenor Dr Róisín Mulgrew, and Dr. Charles O'Mahony.
The students were able to see the changes that will be brought in by recent investment in the male prison – contrasting the recently closed and very old section of the male prison with the new wings. Students was also able to view the new women's section of the prison, based on innovative and trauma-informed design. Students were able to quiz Governor Mark Kennedy and staff about all aspects of prison life and management.
Sincere thanks to Governor Kennedy and all his team for facilitating this visit and making it such an engaging and insightful experience for the students.
