Step inside a cell in Mountjoy Prison
We have been taking an look inside the walls of Mountjoy Prison over the past week, speaking to prison officers about their role in the institution.
TheJournal.ie was also given a quick look inside a prisoner’s cell, with their permission.
This is a standard cell which any class of prisoner could be placed in.
It consists of a small desk and chair, a bed, heating, a simple TV, a noticeboard, and in-cell sanitation - ‘slopping out’ came to an end in Mountjoy in 2013.
Take a look at the video above for a quick tour.

I was up wheatfield with a Londoner named Jamie, we ended up sheton Abbey, he was grafter going around Europe doing burglarys, u no who I'm talking bout?
why are european prisons so much nicer than american prisons?
Then when you leave your cell things get messy with the other inmates eyeing you up to test you. Don't drop the soap.
I’ve stayed in worse hotels.
Do they have cells for non prisoners
We got a pet shop boys fan here lads

very small
The bold mr mack
Cells are disgusting ☣️
All prisons are bad including mountjoy but compared to other prisons around the world like black dolphin in russia 🇷🇺 or even some American prisons like guantanamo bay, mountjoy is a rundown holiday camp.
Most of the prison doesn't have "in cell sanitation" only one wing does. Shame to see screws going on like a toilet in a cell is great progress.

Every cell is single man now and all have toilets and the way you seen it, only this cell is in very good condition, all depends on the person in the cell how its kept
