Little joyous about Mountjoy! (Google it!) Pervasive smell of stale urine from chamber pots in this Victorian gaol being slopped out every morning before brekkie, or being thrown from third floor landing due to some feud between prisoners. All in the distinguished company of pimps, pushers and prostitutes, in one person cells shared by four people, with no in cell sanitation. "Guests of the nation", as working class Dublin writer Brendan Behan once wrote. And he knew. Still, the gingle jangle of the auld triangle has been heard by Ministers of Justice before. Can we anticipate a campaign for the release of the Maple 10.
