The prison in this movie reminded me alot of the prison in another UK movie, "In the name of the Father".
Does anyone know if it's really the same one?

If the prison is actually in Dublin and this film was set in London then what do you think?

All we can do now is drink until the part of the brain that creates mental pictures is dead!

Nice cast iron spiral staircase.
Victorian, unless I'm mistaken.
Give those prisoners some nice architectural flourishes to enjoy in between shankings to the liver. :)
