Cameras ‘should record prisoners’

VIDEO cameras should be installed in all garda stations to record the behaviour of prisoners, gardaí said yesterday.

Officers said cameras and recording equipment should be placed in station cells, reception areas, public counters, entry and exit points and inside garda vehicles.

Speakers at the annual conference of the Association of Garda Sergeants and Inspectors (AGSI) said such general coverage was needed to highlight the behaviour of violent inmates.
