In 1981 when I was serving as a Prison Officer at HMP Bristol I attended the post riot trials at Bristol Crown Court. I shall never forget the testimony of a woman Police Officer, she led across the body of a stabbed colleague to afford him some protection whilst a rioter proceeded to smash her face in with a brick, and the scars where still there for all to see. Amazing courage, in my opinion Never was so much owed by so many to so few.
