Two months for prisoner caught with phone in cell

A man who was serving a prison sentence for assault and violent disorder was caught with a mobile phone in his cell and was sent back to jail for two months for the crime.

Inspector Daniel Coholan said at Cork District Court yesterday that a prison officer detected the phone during a routine cell inspection on May 15, 2016, at Cork Prison on Rathmore Rd.

The phone was found on the bed of the prison cell occupied by Darren O’Brien, with an address of 67 Noonan Rd, Cork.
