The Strangeways Prison Riot (Manchester, Greater Manchester, 1990) | Feat. Megan and Neil from Mortal Musings

In April 1990, one of the most notorious and violent prison uprisings in British history erupted at Strangeways Prison in Manchester. What began as a protest quickly spiralled into a full-blown riot, as prisoners seized control of the facility, venting their anger over brutal conditions and overcrowding.


For 25 days, the world watched in shock as inmates set fires, battled guards, and took to the roof in defiance. The uprising left one inmate and prison officer dead, hundreds injured, and the prison in ruins, forcing a nationwide re-examination of the UK prison system.


**This episode features Megan and Neil from Mortal Musings telling me (and you) the story of the riot.
