We spoke with prisoners, teachers and those in charge of running Mountjoy Prison about daily life, gang culture, drugs and the tides of change in Ireland's most recognisable prison
I really took a strong dislike to Pat when he interviewed Pete Doherty. Pete came over to Ireland in terrible snowy weather especially for the show and he basically scorned him for the entire interview and the cameraman kept zooming in on his nails that were dirty looking probably because Pete was doing drugs. He didnt have one ounce of compassion for Pete and I wondered why he had him on the show at all. A complete ignoramus.
I went to school with a very quiet, introverted, nerdy, girl who was also a beautiful person with goodness glowing from her smile. In the 5 years of secondary school the only subject where she got less than an A on a regular basis was for Art. Everyone knew she would go to Trinity and excel in whatever she did. I met her about 10 years after we finished school and she was working as a language teacher in Mountjoy prison. I couldnt believe someone who was so shy and slight looking would work in such a tough environment. The prisoners were blessed with someone so smart and consistent.
@@chipdouglas6650 I never doubted how deep she was for a minute. The fact that I knew her for five years and in that time she came across as very shy and reserved and physically she was very slight so I was really surprised she took on such a hardcore role. I always knew she was a beautiful person as I mentioned above and am not surprised for a minute that she wanted to help others.
@@WakaWaka2468 Well you should care and you should be happy knowing there are some really good people out there who devote themselves to helping others. She could've gone off to some financial institution and made a fortune for herself but she chose to help these men reform themselves.
Privatise the prison system. Reform the Irish judicial system and there'll be less criminals on the streets of Ireland. The American and Russian prisons are brilliant.
Privatise the prison system? You think that if a prison is run as a business, where private institutions would make money per prisoner, that would somehow lead to less criminals on the streets?
The JOY was a holiday camp compared to LONG KESH - Also known as the MAZE prison up in Belfast Prison is cool FREE SEX DRUGS ALCOHOL and A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD...What more could you want??? The people i feel sorry for are the Homeless out on the streets
@@sodalines ye I remember there was few n Whitefield /renegade or ;dismissed IRA, so many different factions now,yes theoretically political prisoners could be in Mnt joy.
@@billyjoe3784 yea its crazy how how many groups there are. Times used to be so simple back in the day. I live in derry now back from the states. moved to maryland because of my past. happy to be back home in Ireland
I also thought all the ira men were and had to serve sentences in old part of porlaoise prison? A stone throw away.from adjacent to my town And thats what not jus me but alot of us ere thought..
“You’re in prison, it’s not a nice place” ....correct me if I’m wrong, you did something bad...you’re not meant to be living your best on a jolly week away!!,

If I was being sent down,I would expect it to b a tuff stretch. Open cushy jails are reserved for white collar criminals. I think the hardest part about doing time in the republic would b watching RTE. 😱
i like rte although i've only been in police custody twice not prison i'm from the north in belfast i was only 16 the first time i cried like a bitch but the second time i was 28 and i was the strong one telling ppl not to let the bastards get to you as you'll be released and its only a police custody suite not maghaberry lol
Sorry to say my friends across the pond, if one of your prisoners ever was in an American prison they would be pissing their jumpsuit right now. Such a difference, no offense. *pun
I’m sorry but the conditions in American prisons are inhuman, not worthy for a dog let alone a person. The whole prison system in a he U.S is corrupt to the core who prey on the uneducated, impoverished parts of society, with harsh sentences for minor crimes, here in Europe thank God we believe in second chances & the rights of human a being.
Ive been in four prisons in ireland including mountjoy when there was no teles or toilets, i was attacked and stabbed in one of those prisons but the rest was pretty easy in terms of not having to fight etc.. i agree with what your saying, i hated prison in ireland and couldnt wait to get out of it. I dont think i would piss myself but id be more on edge in a prison overseas because of the pressure to act in certain ways id rather not, like joining gangs and watching over my shoulder every min of the day. Thank god i left that life behind me over 12 yesrs ago.
Imagine getting locked up and then find out ya have to watch RTE, it’s cruel what they do to these lads
Lololol
C W1990 RTÉ rigging the election
Bang the auld'angle for the Angelus...The lads would luvvvvet!
😂🤣
My brother been fucked up now it's my turn boom 😤😠😡🤬♨️⁉️
Pat Kenny getting the boot in "where as i..I can go home" 🤣

She wanted to help the soul of another human being. She is deeper than you think.

@John Bryan lol did ye see the state of his teeth jayzsus all that money from RTE and he didnt get them done
@scribble 36 lol he should of bought a gold grill with all his money
@scribble 36 lol youre right i was thinking that when I watched the video, why the fuck is his teeth so yellow with the money he has
...paid for by people like the inmates.
I love listening to Pat Kenny's broadcasts. I wish this one was much longer though.
The auld triangles looking like the deathly hallows
There seems to be very little rehabilitation,more like warehousing.
michb144 still it seems it’s better than many places...
Not so fast kenny have you paid you tv license?
Artists like Pat dont have to pay it. Corruption reigns
They should have kept Pat Kenny in there 👊
Nice Job, Pat.
FREE PAT KENNY
Stuart Kelly fuck it leave him in there would anyone notice
@@keithbyrne8070 Free PAT KENNY, with every purchase of Tayto Cheese n'Onion!
you can tell Pat is getting a raging clue at the showers
He found the visit interesting, educational and humbling. They should have kept him there!.
Wife's grandfather was jailed there in 1916 as a teenager, later given the option to emigrate to the USA.
Where's the wing for politicians?
What stops sombody going on protection just to get 1 of them
Wooooooowwwww!
Pat Kenny is an unironic Alan Partridge
Step inside there Pat.
Thats some kip
No sky sports
Why didn't you interview Enoch Burke while you were there?
What level of security is this?
Berry secure
I'm home.. Good luck prisoners..
Meanwhile the likes of John Delaney ride off on horseback to the Algarve
That's no place for you Pat
It's like Hotel compared to El Salvador ...Black Dolphin in Russia..and many more harsh places..
Very very hard place a world of its own its bad

Yup the joy
Pat Kenny pretending he is feeling sorry for the prisoners , when he is not.
Did Kenney make them criminals?
Rockloudge
Free Angela Ray!
Who?
A hotel
Kenny should be locked up in Mountjoy for Hypocrisy and land grabbing!
The prison officers use the prisoners to get conversation claims
Not pats usual accommodation.
not everyone is bad pat
The music is creepy
The JOY was a holiday camp compared to LONG KESH - Also known as the MAZE prison up in Belfast
Prison is cool FREE SEX DRUGS ALCOHOL and A ROOF OVER YOUR HEAD...What more could you want???
The people i feel sorry for are the Homeless out on the streets
*Lisburn

Aahaaa
Noting like Norway is it lol
The kinahan holiday camp
Alan partridge
Should be turned into a labour camp, get some value for our tax money.
Give us an auld song luke.
Shut up
thats counterproductive and the hungerstrikers got more freedom for prisoners in ireland particularly the north
And then bullet in the back of the head and dump them in mass graves to save even more money. I like your thinking.
my ira mate is locked up there. he says its not too bad.
No IRA in mountjoy;all in portloise prison?no?.
@@billyjoe3784 most all ira guys are in portloise now. your right. but not all
@@sodalines ye I remember there was few n Whitefield /renegade or ;dismissed IRA, so many different factions now,yes theoretically political prisoners could be in Mnt joy.

Beyond scared straight Ireland

Do time.
Don't drop the soap buddy
Pat Kenny is looking old .
Bad place
G
Pat should be locked up for steeling his neighbour's land.
We don't want to know about this slime, we want to hear stories of hard working people that pay massive taxes
Like bono. Lol. Lol. Don't watch then. Anyone can end up in prison, anyone. Your no fuckn angel
Where pat and all his colleagues belong.
This is completely irresponsible
Sorry to say my friends across the pond, if one of your prisoners ever was in an American prison they would be pissing their jumpsuit right now. Such a difference, no offense. *pun
No there are just as many maniacs who don't care for anything or anyone
I agree American prisoner system is more regimented, NOT from experience,I assume; ive came to this conclusion watching prisoners documentaries

@@proinnsiasomurchu347 I agree with you about the prison system here, it is horrible and dangerous.
