Crumlin Road Prison
artdoc February=1992

Lord Colville, current chair of the Parole Board for England and
Wales, and the person appointed to conduct annual reviews of the
EPA and PTA, has been appointed to undertake an inquiry into `the
management of paramilitary prisoners from opposing factions'.
This followed an IRA bombing on Sunday 24th November inside
Crumlin Road prison which resulted in the deaths of two loyalist
prisoners. The conflict inside the gaol has been simmering for
at least two years and is over the NIO's refusal to segregate
loyalist and republican remand prisoners. More than 80 prison
officers are reported as receiving injuries in the conflict over
the past year. There appears to be no support from any political
party, prisoner lobby group or voluntary organisation for the
NIO's stand.
