Strangeways Revisited

Twenty-one years after the series STRANGEWAYS was screened, the original producer and director Rex Bloomstein, returns to the prison to see how things have changed. He traces the story of eight former inmates and staff who featured in the series. Prisoners Vinny Valente, Harry Longmuir, Barry Bispham and Terry McDonald speak of their experiences. In 1980 4,000 young offenders passed through the Borstal Allocations Centre in Starngeways. One of these was Paul Wood. His tragic fate after Strangeways is told by his sisters.
