This book analyses the role of political imprisonment during a period in Irish history when prisons were at the heart of a series of contests, including the violent campaign for Irish independence. It tells the story of suffragettes, trade unionists, and revolutionary nationalists who were sent to prisons and internment camps in Ireland and Britain for their causes, and examines the ways in which they then used those prisons and camps to promote their causes. The book explores the roles and identities claimed by the political prisoners. It analyses the strategies—including hunger strike—that they, and their supporters, developed as they sought to exploit their imprisonment by making the prisons sites of revolution. It assesses the ways in which the state (in particular the prison systems and the army) responded to this challenge and emphasizes the impact these contests had upon the ordinary servants of the state charged with managing the resultant crises. Through their campaigns the prisoners challenged the effectiveness of a crucial arm of state power in both Ireland and Britain—the prison systems—with intent and sophistication. The book argues that these prison campaigns had a significant influence on the politics of the revolutionary period and in doing so explores the fluctuating relationship between prison conflict and the wider revolution. Ultimately, the prison contests investigated here changed Ireland and changed political imprisonment
