Prison FAQs

There are two ways to get started with us. One way is for a staff member in the prison to put you in contact with us – this could be your ‘Integrated Sentence Management (ISM) Officer’ who works with you on engaging with services in the prison. They can make a recommendation for you to Tosú. You could also get a referral from a member of the Irish Prison Service staff, or a colleague in the Education Unit.

We hope to be able to provide more outreach to families in the future, we will have an update soon.

Each of our clients chooses to engage with our teams, once they have been referred to us. We make sure that every client signs a consent form as part of our engagement which is based on a voluntary agreement to work with us.

You can contact us on 01 5131407 or drop us an email to admin@tosu.ie and we can look into contact.

Tosú Training and Employment Officers can work with your relative once we agree to work together and sign some formalities. Not all of our clients are ready to start work immediately. We use our experience in guidance and counselling to forge a path that will assist your relative to look at options in either training, education and/or employment.

All movements of prisoners are operational matters for the Irish Prison Service.
