Prisons issues: submission from the UDP

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

This submission by the Ulster Democratic Party to the Liaison subcommittee on Confidence Building Measures focuses on the issue of political prisoners in Northern Ireland. It emphasizes the importance of addressing the needs of political prisoners, their families, and friends in the peace process. The document highlights the UDP's advocacy for a phased release program for political prisoners rather than a general amnesty. It criticizes the government's failure to acknowledge political prisoners and calls for substantive measures such as the immediate release of life sentence political prisoners who have served ten years or more and a review for those who have served five years or more. The submission also recommends abolishing the Working-Out Scheme, and widening compassionate parole to include extended family members.
