I think it is a smart move by the prison service ,. All the calls can be monotored!!! And block mobile phones , so they have to use the land-line

> maintaining contact with family and friends while in custody plays an important role in the rehabilitation of prisoners.
Socially and financially (upwards of €70k per year to keep a prisoner in and Irish prison) it’s money well spent if it works.
This means nothing without information about how many cells were covered.
Free accomodation, food, clothes and now phones. Man that’s the life
This is bad news for those in the bum phone business.
Fantastic news.
I can see both sides to the argument but I think it makes sense to make life a littler easier and that hopefully will cause them to act up less often. Prisoners are punished by their sentence they’re not meant to be punished on top of that. We should aim like the Dutch do to rehabilitate them not brutalise them so they’re worse off than when they went in.
I didn’t know EncroChat started up again.
Think it’s probably happening after Covid and prisoners not getting visists and not mixing as much.
I’d say there will still be the same rules about only approved numbers, maximum lenhgth of calls and that they are recorded so it probably won’t chamge things that much.
When I was in had to make calls on the wings and there would always be a queue with people shouting and roaring mostly. Much better to make the call on your own from your cell and have a proper conversation maybe a bit later at night when you are locked up anyway and better time to get people at home

Fair play!
I am surprised it’s that cheap.
How many cells do we have?
