Today Judge Barry White sentenced Eamon Lillis to 6 years and 11 months for killing his wife. Mr Lillis had been found guilty of manslaughter by a jury last week. The Judge said Lillis had shown no remorse and had devastated the lives of many people including tha if his 17 year old daughter. Lillis had lied to the police and even named a suspect for his cowardly crime.
Eamon Lillis will be due for release on the 4th of April 2015, this will include 25% remission for good behaviour. He could get temporary or early release before this date depending on his contacts or lobbying weight in Leinster House.
If Eamon Lillis remains in Wheatfield Prison this is how it works:
Today he will be served fish, mash and peas for his dinner. Sounds better than it is, but not bad. For tea will be be chicken nuggets, again not the nuggets we know and love, harder and without a barbeque dip. Still he will get a quarter pint carton of milk to wash it down. He will be allowed to make one 6 minute phone call to a pre-vetted number. He will be allowed one 30 minute visit tomorrow between 10am-12pm and 2-4pm. After that it is one call be day and one visit per week. Although a special (extra) 15 minute visit can also be asked for each week
He will remain in one of the 6 holding cells at the back of landing 3F for the moment and will be allocated to a landing on Monday. The holding cells are double cells, but he will remain on his own for now. These cells usually contain people who are awaiting to be allocated a landing.
Wheatfield houses some 150 sex offenders, yet landings 7-10 G contain the Dundon and Mc Carty gang members from Limerick. So the Governor has to be very careful where he places someone like Mr Lillis. He will most likely to be placed on 1F with people like Barry Mc Gee, Martin 'Bruce' Dunne, Fr Daniel Doherty, Gareth Feeney, Trevour Byrne (out for 14 hours and back in for att rape), this landing is safe and quiet for someone like Lillis.
This evening between the hours of 5.30pm and 7.30 pm he will be out for recreation, which is a game of pool with the other 31 lads on the landing, although he might not get a game as he will be at the bottom of the list.
Then 7.30pm he will be locked into his cell until 8am in the morning. At 8 am he will get a bowl of rice cripies or corn flakes with a quarter pint of milk. Then back into the cell until 9.30am where he will have the choice of going to the yard with all the junkies or staying in his cell.
If he smokes he will be immediately popular and will get used to the request, "Any dust Bud". If he does not smoke he will have to wait until he goes to the Tuck Shop on Tuesday when he can spend some of his 7 Euro gratuity on sweets, minerals, biscuits and ciggies.
Monday he will be allocated a landing, most likely 1F. He will share a cell with another inmate. 12ft by 8ft. steel toilet and sink, no swirl pool and no curtain. He will pay one Euro per week for his access to the 14inch TV, which he will have to share viewing with his new house mate.
On Monday he will also be allocated to a work shop or place in the Education unit. I imagine he will simply go to the education unit where he can study phography and art.
Of course it might well be that he has the contacts to get sent to Arbhour Hill hotel where other woolly jumpers are housed such as corrupt Fianna Fail press secreatry Frank Dunlop and that Garda Sargent from Drugheda who is into wee girls. And he wont be stuck for company of the religious kind either. Yep they are all nice and cosy in Arbhour Hill.
