Teens ‘shocked’ by prison killing

Two teenagers who got their first experience of jail when they were remanded in Cork Prison on Friday for numerous breaches of their bail were shocked to be in the prison when an inmate was stabbed to death.

The two teenagers were not present at the scene of the fatal incident but they were in Cork Prison at the time.

Their barristers said the experience was a huge shock for the youngsters and had a salutary effect on them in terms of the future prospect of serving any time in prison.
