Prisoner seeks to quash disciplinary sanctions
An inmate at a Dublin prison was strip-searched and had his privileges withdrawn for 60 days as punishment after prison authorities accused him of receiving prohibited material during a visit from his mother and partner, the High Court heard today.
The sanctions were imposed on Kenneth Ruth, who is currently a prisoner at Wheatfield Prison, Clondalkin, Dublin, following an unscreened visit from his mother and partner at the prison on January 21.
