They called newspapers to protest conditions in top security Block E, seeking an inquiry, with no violence reported. Notable inmates named include Dennis Stafford Ronald Edwards John McVicar and possibly Ian Brady, though Brady was said to be not among the rebels as 22 inmates were in Block E. The incident followed Britain’s rising jail-break criticism and involved shredding records and barricading with chapel altar and carpets.
