Martha receives next items – except the MP3 player

On Wednesday, June 20, 2018, Martha received next things from the reception of the prison.
Apparently the officer on duty finally deigned to find the time.
Martha received many of the remaining items.
Some of them were lying there for so long, that Martha doesn’t even remember who brought them for her.

She received all the cosmetics.
Cosmetics were held probably for the longest time.
On April 29, 2018, we stopped the counters regarding not giving Martha the cosmetics.
Only 6 cosmetics were handed to Martha then.
Our stopping of the counters was a bit “ahead”.

We wrote that day:
“The cosmetics given to Martha are those brought for her by her sister.
They were brought on December 8, 2017.
After 141 days of holding them, six of those cosmetics were handed to Martha.
141 days is 4 months and 21 days – 41 days more and it would be half a year.

On Wednesday, June 20, 2018 Martha received all of remaining cosmetics.
In total, most of the cosmetics spent 194 days in prison locker.
They were lying, or maybe “served” their time…
Martha could finally receive them…

Martha was happy about items given to her.
She didn’t check if the expiration date on the cosmetics she received.

Martha received everything…
Everything…
…except the MP# player brought for her…

We’re stopping one of the counters – 6 cosmetics were delivered to Martha after 141 (!) days

Today is the last Sunday of the month.
Martha was supposed to receive the cosmetics on April 1, she didn’t received them.
Just today.
Exactly 6 cosmetics.
Apparently she was supposed to choose which cosmetics she needs now.
But she wasn’t given the opportunity of choosing.
She came down to reception, and she receivef 6 (six) cosmetics chosen for her.
Right now some of the cosmetics Martha needs more.

The cosmetics given to Martha are those brought for her by her sister.
They were brought on December 8, 2017.
After 141 days of holding them, six of those cosmetics were handed to Martha.
141 days is 4 months and 21 days – 41 days more and it would be half a year.

Next 6 cosmetics Martha  will receive on the last sunday of May, in a month.

Regarding giving the cosmetics to Martha we’re stopping one of the counters on our sites. Counters of shame of prison services in Dochas Centre Ireland.

Giving the cosmetics to Martha gives us mixed feelings. We don’t know: should we thank or not.
The duty of prison services was to give those cosmetics to Martha long ago, at the latest on April 1.
Is handing over the cosmetics to Martha after 141 days, a proper fulfilling of duties by prison services?
Should we acknowledge something, that someone was supposed to do long time ago? What was his or her duties?

Thank you for handing Martha 6 cosmetics.

Martha can finally receive 6 cosmetics monthly

Martha was finally permitted again to receive 6 cosmetics monthly.

Previously, giving cosmetics to women serving sentences was permitted without limitations.
Complete ban was introduced when one of the prisoners received illegal things in cosmetics.

So now Martha can receive cosmetics, but quantity limit was introduced – only 6 pcs a month. Martha’s mum and sister, who will be coming soon to Ireland to visit Martha, had already agreed on which cosmetics Martha needs.
