A meeting of “lifers” from Dochas Centre in Dublin (8 women) with Acting Chief Officer, Mrs Kelleher, was held on Thursday, at 2 p.m.
The meeting took place in small room, where Masses are celebrated.
The inmates were informed, that from April 1st, it will be allowed to give them six cosmetics a month.
They were also asked about some problems or requests.
* women serving sentences in Dochas Centre asked for additional two phone calls a week.
Martha raised that she lost the point of attending school and making things. She made those things for others, and she can’t pass them to her close ones.
Mrs Kelleher was surprised by this. She didn’t know anything about any restriction regarding Martha. In that moment, a prison officer interfered and said, that she will explain everything to Mrs Kelleher later.
But what will she explain?
That there are no objections towards Martha in prison, and all restrictions are just inventions of Mrs Governor?
Using Martha, Mrs Governor proposed “a deal” to Martha’s sister: Martha wil still be able to pass everything, only if her sister won’t make it public in the internet.
Martha’s sister doesn’t agree to any such terms and she such demands as unfounded and unlawful.
Will the prison officer also pass this to Mrs Kelleher?

The meeting with inmates lasted half an hour.
Similar meetings are to be held monthly or every two months.
Mrs Kelleher also told Martha, that after next meeting with “lifers” she will also talk to Martha in private.

We thank very much to Mrs Acting Chief Officer Kelleher for her kind interest in problems of inmates in Dochas Centre in Dublin, and for the promise of cyclical meetings.

(We don’t give the name of Mrs Kelleher because we don’t know it. It’s possible thtat it’s Mrs Patricia Kelleher. When only we will find out the name we will supplement the post. It was Mrs Kelleher who gave Martha new permission for e-cigarette)
