Barlinnie is one of the most notorious prisons in the world and for
a hundred years it has held Glasgow's toughest and most violent
men, swept up from the city streets. Ten men died on its gallows in
the infamous Hanging Shed, including serial killer Peter Manuel. It
has sparked rooftop protests and cell block riots, and been home to
godfathers of crime like Arthur Thompson Snr and Walter Norval.
Barlinnie was also the scene of one of the most controversial
experiments in penal history, the Special Unit, where the likes of
Jimmy Boyle and Hugh Collins were at the centre of a fierce battle
between those who see prison as retribution and those who regard it
as a step on the road to redemption, even for the most evil
killers. Paul Ferris, T C Campbell and gangleaders galore have
languished behind its grim walls and, a hundred years on, Barlinnie
still makes headlines. This is its fascinating, turbulent story.
