An Inclusive Litany

5/7/96

The London Weekly Telegraph reported that the British Home Office has decided to award £35,000 to seven inmates at the Strangeways prison who suffered high levels of stress while participating in a prison riot in 1990. The prisoner won the lawsuit by claiming "that their personalities changed because of the Strangeways riot." One of the prisoners, Terence Jeggo, complained that he had changed from "a happy-go-lucky person to a time bomb about to go off."
