How can prison overcrowding be fixed?

Prison overcrowding is at another crisis point with all secure jails having reached, or exceeded, capacity for the first time. More than 100 prisoners were sleeping on the floors of Mountjoy on Tuesday night when numbers reached a record 1,000. With, clearly, some major issues with the Irish prison system, how can things be solved? Joining guest host Sinead Ryan to discuss is Niall Spelman, retired Prison Governor, Kathleen Chada, Founder of SAVE Action Group, Vincent Jennings, CEO of the Convenience Stores & Newsagents Association and more.
