Cafe would be staffed by former prisoners.

There are proposals for a 'prison-themed' cafe to open up for the public near Mountjoy in Dublin.

The cafe is part of an initiative to create jobs for former prisoners.

The Irish Prison Service is currently 'testing the market' to see if a private operator would be interested in the idea.

According to tender advertisement, suitable memorabilia would be made available to retain a prison theme in the facility.

Executive Director of The Irish Penal Reform, Deirdre Malone believes an opportunity like this is what's needed.
