Modernising Strangeways

Article Abstract:

Strangeways Prison has been rennovated and given additional new buildings following the damage caused in riots in 1990. The Victorian radial cell blocks have been refurbised to create smaller cell units and modern sanitory and security facilities have been added. This has been achieved without compromising the original design. The second part of the work was a new entry building housing prisoners' reception, visiting rooms and offices. This complements the main block and provides an efficient, functional building. Thirdly, new workshops, recreation, kitchen and other service builldings were built on an adjoining site.
