Martina and Ammi Burke have been released from prison after serving two weeks for contempt of court. They were jailed for their "intense and venomous" behavior during court proceedings.
Martina and Ammi Burke, mother and sister of Enoch Burke, are scheduled for release from the Dóchas Centre prison in Dublin tomorrow. They were jailed two weeks ago.
A report from the Dóchas Centre visiting committee, submitted to Minister for Justice Jim O’Callaghan, notes that overcrowding in the women's prison has reached its "worst" to date, leading to inhumane conditions.
