I believe it was the squalid conditions that sparked the unrest.
- KGIII 9y agoThere are a number of documentaries where the instigators cite conditions and staff abuses as the reason for the Strangeways Riot.

One is fond of handing out papers with motivational or philosophical thoughts on them and the other now has his own gym.
