Boxing star Carl Frampton officially unveiled a new mural at Magilligan Prison depicting some of Northern Ireland’s biggest sports stars.
The former two-weight world champion unveiled the mural, which was painted by two inmates, on Tuesday at the Limavady medium security site.
The mural features Northern Ireland record goalscorer and current Linfield manager David Healy, champion jockey AP McCoy and north Belfast fighter Frampton.
It also depicts some of Northern Ireland’s best known landmarks, such as the Giant’s Causeway, Titanic Belfast and Harland and Wolff’s iconic Samson and Goliath cranes.
In a post on Instagram, the 37-year-old said some of those who are currently in Magilligan deserve a second chance after making bad choices.
“Yesterday, I visited HMP Magilligan to say a few words to the inmates and officially open a mural that was done by two of them,” said Frampton.
“I ate great food, cooked by the inmates, saw great projects that the guys have been building for people on the outside and saw amazing art like the mural above. There was a lot of talented men inside.
“Not all of the people in there are bad. Some good people who have made bad choices and deserve a second chance.”
