I was following Bonnie Shaljean's link above, and I was fascinated to discover this on the same website:- Cork City Gaol - Testimonials.

Now Frank O'Connor has written in his autobiography 'An Only Child' that his own imprisonment at the Women's Gaol in Sunday's Well came as something of a relief to him during the Irish Civil War, since he thereby escaped some of the insanity which he saw all round him. However in general I don't recall many examples of prisoners who have left favourable comments on their conditions. So, since we can't find the song our Guest is looking for, surely the best thing we can do is to supply one in which famous prisoners express their heartfelt gratitude for the hospitality they have received.

First up should be Brendan Behan's missing masterpiece 'How Dear To Me Is The Auld Triangle'!
