  In April 1990 a destructive protest took place in Strangeways Prison in Manchester, which excited much emotive media coverage. According to the authors, this outburst of rebellion represented only the culmination of many years of protest in Britain. This book analyzes the causes of prison protest, using Peterhead as its main case-study.
