[edit] Cultural References

One more cultural reference for you, track nine on Mull Historical Society's album Loss is called "Strangeways Inside". I would add, but the article is locked and I can't make an account for various reasons.


[edit] Riots and Deaths

Number of deaths in the Strangeways prison riots (1) conflicts with that given in the article on Crime_and_policing_in_Manchester (2). Can someone check this and fix it?

The article was correct in that one prisoner died, but incomplete in that one prison officer died too. Added the info and added reference to the BBC News site. Hypnotist uk 23:42, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Both Taylor and the Leach brothers were acquitted of murder, however Lord was charged. This doesn't make sense. Taylor and the Leaches must have been charged before being acquitted; and was Lord convicted or acquitted? 83.12.152.170 09:52, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Where is it?
