Brendan O'Friel, governor of Strangeways at the time, was in the prison on the day before the riot started. He describes that Saturday as being "ordinary" and says nobody told him about the warnings.

Who is Alan Lord?

In 2007, after a trial at Manchester Crown Court, Brennan was given a four-year sentence for the prison break, which he had organised by phone from inside the jail, and an indeterminate sentence 'for public protection' for the attempted murder. On Sunday morning, staff were so certain of trouble that they banned a group of segregated prisoners from attending the service, yet they made no attempt to stop the known ringleaders attending. At the inquiry, a principal officer (PO) was asked if there were plans to prevent known troublemakers going to church? He replied: "Well, you would have to have a very good case to refuse a man permission to go to church." So why was this religious freedom not granted to the segregated prisoners?
