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.

Mike Harding recorded the song "Strangeways Hotel" as the B side of Rochdale Cowboy.

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)[reply]

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)[reply]

Where is it?

The article neglects to locate it. Alpheus (talk) 22:40, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mad Frankie

What does "excused boots" mean? —Tamfang (talk) 20:56, 20 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Very late reply here. He'll have been excused having to wear the boots prisoners were generally issued with. Ronnie Barker's Porridge character, Fletcher, unsuccessfully attempted to use that excuse to avoid getting prison boots. John Firth (talk) 17:35, 14 September 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ian Brown

Ian Brown was released December 1998. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/241827.stm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 95.172.225.64 (talk) 22:32, 16 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Thom Davies

A miscellaneous list of those executed, before and separate from the main list of executions, includes the name of Thom Davies, execution dated in 1889, whose alleged capital offence was "sexual deviancy". Sodomy ceased to be capital offence earlier in the 19th century, the last two men to be executed for it being hanged in 1835. Homosexual offences among men or sexual offences with animals were only punished by imprisonment thereafter. This entry - not shown in the main list - needs checking, I suspect the genuineness of it. In the late 19th century the only capital offences left in England were murder, treason, arson on Royal dockyards and (in time of war) desertion from active duty in armed forces. Had he been a sexual deviant who happened to have committed murder? Cloptonson (talk) 20:44, 3 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Article title

Clinging to Wikipedia's oft-quoted but increasingly ignored policy of naming articles in accordance with that name by which their subject is best known, the title of this article ought by rights to be Strangeways. So why isn't it? Nuttyskin (talk) 17:35, 14 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

According to gov.uk, the prison hasn't been officially known as Strangeways since 1994, some thirty years ago. HM Prison Manchester is the current name of the prison. Sideswipe9th (talk) 02:07, 17 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
