History
Adjacent to Wheatfield Prison, with which it shares many services, Cloverhill was opened in 1999. It is a purpose-built remand prison and houses most of the remand prisoners in the state.[2]
It and the Dóchas Centre, a women's prison, hold 90 per cent of persons detained under processes of administration detention for immigration related issues.[3]
