HM Prison Oxford
HM Prison Oxford was a prison located in Oxford Castle from 1888 until 1996. The castle had been used as a prison since the seventeenth century, but it only acquired the name HM Prison Oxford in the 1888 prison reforms.
In August 1972 prisoners staged a roof-top protest[1] as part of the prison strike organised by Preservation of the Rights of Prisoners in 1972.[2]
