Cl landing in Strangeways is a place where inmates are labelled by their fellow prisoners as 'beasts'. They are mainly sex offenders. On entering prison these men are advised to apply for Rule 43A - segregation for their own protection. For if they are put in the main prison other inmates will take the law into their own hands. On this landing there are also informers, tobacco barons and others who fear revenge from fellow inmates. But to the cons, everyone on Cl is a 'beast'.
