Talk:Portlaoise Prison

Notable inmates section ??
Why is there a notable inmates section? Am I the only one who finds it odd to glorify inmates, as if they are notable because of the crimes they have committed? And what determines their notability anyway? What is the base standard of notoriety? Dylan (talk) 17:26, 19 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Many of those names are not criminals. They are or were political prisoners.108.38.35.162 (talk) 06:28, 12 July 2016 (UTC)

Tank Traps
The article has an uncited claim that the prison is surrounded by 'acres of tank traps'. I think this should be removed as the prison does not have acres of land around it, let alone tank traps. As can be seen on google maps (albeit an older photo than the surrounding area) the prison is in a residential area, with houses and gardens right up to the walls of the prison on most sides. 86.44.25.61 (talk) 02:14, 6 February 2013 (UTC)
 * I have taken the acres out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.155.192.125 (talk) 14:45, 1 October 2019 (UTC)
