A prisoner who staged a 12-hour protest on the roof of Strangeways can be named as Joe Outlaw.
The 36-year-old, who is an inmate at the prison, scaled the roof of one of the buildings in the prison grounds yesterday afternoon (Wednesday).
Outlaw, who was jailed for robbery for an indeterminate length of time in 2011, sketched the words 'FREE IPPZ' on the prison roof and continually shouted out the same phrase during his protest. The message is believed to refer to The Imprisonment for Public Protection sentence (IPP) sentence, which was abolished in 2012 and branded 'unjust'.
