NI: Crumlin Road Prison

01 January 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.
