A Prisoner Has Been Talked Down From The Roof Of Mountjoy
Management at Mountjoy have talked a prisoner down off the roof of the jail.
At around 3 o’clock this afternoon, a prisoner gained access to the roof of Mounjoy, causing the prison to go into lockdown.
Just under 600 men are in Mountjoy at present, and the incident meant only staff were permitted to enter the prison.
A prison service spokesman says negotiators worked with the prisoner to talk him down safely.
