Mother ‘heavily monitored’

THE Roscommon mother jailed for seven years is being “heavily monitored” by staff at Dóchas Women’s Prison in the health care unit.

The health care unit is a small unit which caters for inmates with medical and psychiatric needs. It is understood that she has not come out for anything or spoken to anybody.

She is believed to be in her own room, with a high level of supervision. But prison sources indicated she is not being isolated from other inmates.
