Around 41 prison officers were subsequently trapped in the chaos that ensued
It became the longest-running siege in Scottish prisonThe riot broke out in Barlinnie’s B Hall around 7.30pm following a number of seemingly unrelated incidents during the day, including an alleged assault on a prisoner by prison officers.
Over the next few days, the rioters would roam across the rooftop tossing slates and concrete slabs onto the ground below. On the second day, the Scottish Prison Service named the three officers being held: David Flanagan, 28, Andrew Smith, 23, and John Kearney, 40.The prisoners claimed brutality behind bars had sparked the riot, which was reflected in the three banners that were hanging from B Hall.
During the siege, the prisoners would go on the roof around dawn and then leave in the evening when it got cold. “You are only making it worse for yourself. Please come down. Ronnie, I love you,” she shouted through tears to her husband. “You are going to get hell. Think of the weans.” The release of Andrew was followed late on the Thursday with David Flanagan being handed back to the authorities as another gesture of goodwill in the negotiations.
The authorities then agreed that the protesters would be examined medically, given access to their lawyers and visits from their families.Shortly after 9am, the last of the rioters went back onto the roof for the last time to sing “we shall overcome” before giving themselves up. Scottish home affairs minister Ian Lang also defended the Scottish penal system, saying that much was being done to rehabilitate prisoners.
