I can`t imagine what these men must have gone through, especially in the early days of transition from The Cages to The H Blocks and then onto The Dirty Protest and ultimately The Hunger Strike`s. Prisons today would be like a Five Star Hotel compared to that. God Bless you all.
Maybe be not - but they were treated appallingly. This place was no holiday home unlike many prisons today.Inmates were abused mentally & physically daily.
Thats obvious. But if you take the time to do some research into what it was a lot of them were supposed to have done. And the confessions that were forced out of them. By the special branch and the brit counterterrorism interrogators. By depriving them of sleep constantly pressuring them by saying things like they would be shot/and dumped on waste land. And other illegal things. They confessed under extreme pressure. And then were sentenced in a diplock court. No jury or no defence lawyers. Im not saying that all of them were treated like that. But an awful lot were. Its obvious that they were political prisoners.

Maybe Not, but at least he was there for something he believed in and that goes for the men who were also imprisoned there from the other side of the political divide. Today Prisons are just filled with low life scum who don`t have any beliefs or morals other than looking after No1.
