Vol. 193 No. 6

Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Modernisation of Prison System.

111.

asked the Minister for Justice if he is considering modernising the present prison system.

My Department's programme for 1962 includes an examination of the whole penal reform system, a beginning on the revision of the prison statutes and rules and a continuation of the improvements recently sanctioned in the dietary and scale of gratuities paid to prisoners for good conduct and industry.

Consideration is also being given, of course, to the conditions of service of the prison staffs.
