The former Governor of Portlaoise prison says it's scary the number of people under the age of 21 who are re-offending.
New figures from the CSO show just under half of those released from prison in 2018 re-offended within a year.
Two thirds of inmates released that year received another custodial sentence for the next offence.
Former Governor of Mountjoy Prison John Lonergan says it's difficult to break the cycle of crime for young people:
