At any given time between 1926 and 1951, there were about 31,000 people in these institutions – only a small fraction of whom had committed any crime. The 1 per cent figure also applied to children – one child in every hundred was enslaved in an industrial school.
This was our Great Purge, our way of establishing religious, social and moral “purity” by locking up and “correcting” potential deviants. This level of “coercive confinement” is extreme for any democratic society. In 1931, the Soviet gulag held about 200,000 prisoners – from a population of 165 million.
The Irish system held 31,000 people – from a population of three million.

@dave, not fully blocked on trains, just videos, you should go to zero hedge in the mean time.
Like the CIA concluded ‘Public apathy enable leaders to ignore voters”
Jesus, so sad but very accurate. Fintin O@Toole is a pain in the hole but he can articulate a valid point at times. Our saviour is not comming from beyond our shores it is us or not at all. With the slow slow drip at what point do you flip. The poor bastards setting themselves on fire is easy to understand and surely that in itself is insanity. How do you aim the arrows and resow the seeds and protect and reassure the young old simple and innocent. Which will give in first, the back or the lash.
