Prisoner who protested on Strangeways roof is named as Joe Outlaw

An inmate protested on the roof of Strangeways can be named as Joe Outlaw.

The 36-year-old prisoner climbed on the roof of one of the buildings on the afternoon of Wednesday, April 14. He stayed up there for 12 hours until the early hours of Thursday, April 13.

While on the roof, he wrote the words "FREE IPPZ" in white paint and he was also heard shouting "free IPP." Police said Outlaw eventually "willingly came down from the roof" and was "back in the custody of prison staff."
