- **Event Description**: Join Ed Glinert to hear some horror stories involving Ian Brady, Harold Shipman, Ian Brown, Joey Barton and some really bad folk.About this EventThe Evil Corners of Strangeways: Ed Glinert's Criminal TourStrangeways. The very name enough to send a frisson of fear down the spine of the most hardened felons.The Pr*son has been home to the most evil elements in existence – Ian Brady and Harold Shipman – and temporary refuge of political prisoners such as Christabel Pankhurst and Austin Stack, the Irish Republican who was one of the few to escape from its clutches.Even Ian Brown, ex-Stone Roses, was briefly incarcerated within in 1998. No, not for inflicting his tuneless drone and inane lyrics on humanity but for getting into a strop on an aeroplane. 60 days. So what was it like in Strangeways, Ian? “Dirty. The food was like dog food.” He’s out now.Ian Brady was sent here for stealing from Smithfield Market, where he worked in the late 1950s. John Robson Walby (alias Gwynne Owen Evans), was hanged at Strangeways on August 13, 1964 – the last person in England to suffer this punishment. (No, it wasn’t Ruth Ellis).1 April 1990 three hundred prisoners filed into the chapel to attend the church service. During the sermon a prisoner, later identified as Paul Taylor, stood up and shouted: “I would just like to say, right, that this man has just talked about the blessing of the heart and how a hardened heart can be delivered. No it cannot, not with resentment, anger and bitterness and hatred being instilled in people.”It all kicked off. Riot!Prisoners took to the roof and began to dismantle the Pr*son for 25 days. 147 staff and 47 prisoners were injured. One prisoner and one Pr*son officer died. Your NMW guide, Ed Glinert, was ordered by his editor at the Sun to doorstep home secretary David Waddington. He never made it.Later, Paul Taylor and Alan Lord faced a five-month trial as its ringleaders. Both were acquitted of M**der. The riot resulted in the Woolfe Inquiry which ended the practice of slopping out and saw the J*il rebuilt and euphemistically renamed as Her Majesty’s Pr*son, Manchester. But to everyone else it’s still good old Strangeways, or in Jim McDonald’s words: “The Big Hoise.”  https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events8/banners/7de36f80-2573-11f1-a591-7f7175887899-rimg-w987-h740-dc47454a-gmir.jpg
