Abstract
This paper details the development and outcomes of a pilot peer
mediation initiative in Castlerea prison in County Roscommon, Ireland, in
2016-2017.
A process evaluation was undertaken using desk research and qualitative
discussions with peer mediators and partners to the process.
This pilot included a 10-week training programme for peer mediators, the
majority of whom were male Traveller prisoners in Castlerea prison.
The partners to the programme are the Traveller Mediation Service
(TMS), the Travellers in Prison Initiative (TPI) (see Appendix 1 for details
of these services), The Irish Prison Service (IPS) and the Education and
Training Board (ETB), called the ‗school‘ in Castlerea prison.
The paper describes the impacts and elements of good practice of the
pilot programme, as well as proposed next steps in the programme‘s
implementation. It concludes that the peer mediation programme has
potential for implementation across Irish prisons.
