Dr Lynsey Black recently contributed to the documentary, 'Mary and the Joy', which aired on Newstalk, and was produced by Dr Ciarán Ryan and Colm Wallace (author of Sentenced to Death: Saved from the Gallows). ‘Mary and the Joy' chronicles the working experiences of Mary McLoughlin, who served in the Irish Prison Service from 1947 to 1956. Now in her 93rd year, Mary lives in her native Co. Roscommon, where the documentary first meets her, before going on a journey that recalls how she made her way from rural Ireland to Dublin city to join the prison service in her early 20s. Lynsey contributes to the documentary by offering insights on the cases of some of the most high-profile women in prison in the 1940s and 1950s, including the infamous abortionist Mamie Cadden, and convicted murderers Mary Agnes Daly and Frances Cox.
