The document is a submission by the Northern Ireland Women's Coalition to the Liaison subcommittee on Confidence-Building regarding prisoners in Northern Ireland. It emphasizes the importance of including prisoner release in any settlement of a violent political conflict involving negotiations between ex-combatants. The NIWC calls for a repeal of emergency legislation and a review of the criminal justice system to align with human rights standards. It highlights the impact of the conflict on society, the need for reintegration of prisoners into society for lasting peace, and acknowledges the role of ex-prisoners in the peace process. The document also addresses the concerns of victims, advocating for support for victims' organizations and highlighting the impact on children of imprisoned family members. The NIWC supports the early release of all prisoners convicted of scheduled offenses within the context of an overall political agreement and suggests immediate confidence-building measures related to prisoner release, transfer of prisoners and humanitarian treatment within the prison system.
