St. Patrick's Institution

St Patrick’s Institution is managed by the Irish Prison Service. At the moment, it is a closed institution for male offenders aged 16 to 21 years. Plans have been made for separate accommodation for the majority of 16 and 17 year-old boys, pending the further development of the Children Detention Schools.
