  • The 1990 Strangeways Prison riot was a 25-day prison riot and rooftop protest at Strangeways Prison in Manchester, England. The riot began on 1 April 1990 when prisoners took control of the prison chapel, and quickly spread throughout most of the prison. The incident ended on 25 April when the final five prisoners were removed from the rooftop. One prisoner was killed during the riot, and 147 prison officers and 47 prisoners were injured. Much of the prison was damaged or destroyed, with the cost of repairs coming to £55 million (equivalent to £132,989,789 in 2021). It was the longest prison riot in British penal history. The riot was followed by a series of disturbances in prisons across England, Scotland and Wales, resulting in the British government announcing a public inquiry into the riots headed by Lord Woolf. The resulting Woolf Report concluded that conditions in the prison had been intolerable, and recommended major reform of the UK prison system. The Guardian described the report as a blueprint for the restoration of "decency and justice into jails where conditions had become intolerable". (en)
  • Fängelseupploppet på Strangeways 1990 utspelade sig under 25 dagar på taket till HM Prison Manchester i Manchester i England. Upploppet började den 1 april 1990, då fångar tog kontroll över fängelsets kapell och upploppet spred sig snabbt till större delarna av fängelset. Upplopps- och takprotesten avslutades den 25 april när de fem sista fångarna togs ner från taket, vilket gjorde det till det längsta fängelseupploppet i brittisk historia. En fånge dödades under upploppet och 147 fängelseanställda och 47 fångar skadades. Stora delar av fängelset skadades eller förstördes, och reparationskostnaderna uppgick till 55 miljoner pund. Upploppet utlöste en rad oroligheter i fängelser i England, Skottland och Wales,, vilket resulterade i att den brittiska regeringen tillkännagav en offentlig utredning om upploppen under ledning av Lord Woolf. Woolf-rapporten drog slutsatsen att förhållandena i fängelset hade varit oacceptabla och rekommenderade en större reform av fängelsesystemet. Tidningen The Guardian beskrev rapporten som en plan för återställandet av "anständighet och rättvisa i fängelser där förhållandena hade blivit oacceptabla". (sv)
