The Strangeways prisoner who staged a 12-hour protest on the roof of HMP Manchester last night was handed a further jail term for criminal damage to another prison cell this morning.
Joe Outlaw, 36, appeared before judge Nicholas Clarke KC at Bolton Crown Court at 10am today (April 13), having climbed down from Strangeways’ roof at 4.15am.
He admitted to causing criminal damage to his cell at HMP Hindley on January 28 last year. The court heard that Outlaw spent the early evening making threats he would smash up his care and separation unit (CSU) cell to prison guards outside.
