This episode examines the haphazard way Ireland deals with its most dangerous criminals. We hear how some of our most infamous prisoners are assessed for release by people with no training or experience and how the final decisions are made by politicians with the next election in mind. With the help of Dr Diarmuid Griffin's ground-breaking research in the area, we take a look at how we got this system and how it can be reformed.
