1. Strangeways Prison Riot
SEE ALSO: 10 weird military vehicles of World War II (With Pictures)
In 1990, Manchester, England, one of the longest prison riots in history took place with 1,647 prisoners. Previously the Strangeways prisoner had been complaining about the miserable condition and brutality in the prison. On April 1, over 300 prisoners arrived at the chapel for Sunday morning service and while the sermon was being addressed, an inmate Paul Taylor took the microphone and suddenly called upon his brother inmates, “Let’s take the prison.” The prisoners over-powered the guards and took over the entire facility. It took 25 days for the chaos to subside but in the meantime, the Strangeways riot had insipid more riots on smaller scales in other prison facilities throughout Britain.
