Prisons issues: submission from the SDLP

Writing Peace: David Trimble Collection

The document, submitted by the Social Democratic and Labour Party to the Liaison subcommittee on Confidence Building Measures emphasizes the importance of considering prisoners' rights and needs, especially in building confidence during the peace process. They highlight the significance of positive treatment for prisoners and their families in political and communal terms. The submission supports the transfer of Irish prisoners from Britain to prisons in Ireland and calls for increased flexibility and sensitivity in compassionate leave, parole, and overall prison regime improvements. The SDLP advocates for a structured early release program that considers individual cases, balancing the needs of prisoners and their families with sensitivity towards victims' families. They suggest that early release initiatives should address factors like disproportionate sentences, questionable convictions, and family circumstances.
