I'm rather surprised at how tiny this article is considering how infamous this was for 80s Britain, and especially how influential it was in modern western prison reform. There's nothing about the background or what caused the riot, what happened during it nor what happened afterwards other than an effective prison lockdown. A lot has been written about this event so this is very surprising it's not been covered very well. UaMaol (talk) 14:16, 24 August 2024 (UTC)Reply
