65 prisoners sleeping on the floor in Castlerea prison

65 prisoners are sleeping in mattresses on the floor in Castlerea Prison because of overcrowding.

There are 466 inmates in custody there at the moment - which is 95 above the normal bed capacity.

It means the prison is currently operating at 126 per cent of its normal bed capacity.

There's a similar problem in several other prisons throughout the country - as the number of people being sent to prison outstrips the amount of beds.
