25 Days In April: Part 1

25 Days In April: Part 1

In April 1990, Strangeways prison in Manchester was subject to disorder and protests that lasted weeks.

It was the longest prison disturbance in British history.

This is a deep-dive into the events leading up to that day, the disturbance itself, and the aftermath.

It includes interviews with then-governor Brendan O'Friel, former prison officer Steve Whitfield, criminologist Professor Joe Sim, former prisoner and now Guardian journalist Eric Allison, and journalist David Nolan, plus archive news recordings from the time.

The 25 Days in April episodes were produced in partnership with the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, and were funded by the Barry Amiel and Norman Melburn Trust.

Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
