On Monday 3rd November 2025, criminal justice and sentencing students visited Limerick Prison. This short-term experiential learning provided students with a unique opportunity to enhance their knowledge with a deep understanding of the practicalities associated with the criminal justice and sentencing processes, rehabilitation and reintegration. Students gained valuable insights into the functioning of a prison, daily lives of prisoners and staff, and were able to apply their knowledge in a real-world setting. The visit was informative and transformative bringing classroom learning to life, building a conceptual bridge between theory and practice. This short-term field trip is underpinned by UL’s strategic plan to enhance teaching and learning and creating learning spaces that emphasises academically rigorous transformative learning and enhanced student engagement through experiential learning.
The visit was organised by module leader Dr Ger Coffey, School of Law.
