History

The construction of Wheatfield Prison began in 1980 and it opened nine years later in 1989. Cloverhill Prison, a remand prison, is located on a site adjacent to it. Both institutions share many of the same facilities.The prison was used in the TV series The Governor by ITV in 1994 and in Love/Hate for RTÉ in 2013.[2]

Attempted drug smuggling via UAV

Around 11am on 24 June 2014 a quadcopter crashed into an exercise yard of the prison.[3][4][5] The quadcopter collided with wires designed to prevent helicopters landing to aid escapes, causing it to crash.[3][4][5] A package containing drugs hung from the quadcopter by a rope and was seized by a group of prisoners before prison staff could get to it.[3][4][5] One prisoner swallowed the drugs and was placed into solitary confinement along with several others.[3][5] The quadcopter was badly damaged by the crash, though an unsuccessful attempt was made to fly it out of the prison.[3][4][5] The quadcopter was handed over to an Garda Síochána and both they and the prison service are holding their own investigations.[3][4][5]
