Damien Hernon is the director of Oberstown Children's Detention Campus.
He joined us to discuss what a day in Oberstown looks like for the children and for the staff. From education to victim empathy, Damien describes the programmes available, their hands on approach and the challenges of working in the centre.
We discuss the progressive mindset the staff take, the negative portrayal of Oberstown in the media as well as some of the success stories of the past occupants.
