mapping project
As far as interesting maps go, I thought about using a map of the maze prison, however on the wonders of the internet I could not source a proper map of it. Even though the maze has now been closed for 7 years a proper prison layout has not made it onto the internet for obvious reasons I guess in that we may try to use it to plan a breakout. any how the closest thing to a map i found was an labelled military aerial view of the prison.
as far as research has gone, donvan wylies book "maze" has become very useful in getting a feel for the prison's bleak confusing layout. found quite a lot of useful information on wikipedia laying out the history of the maze. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maze_%28HM_Prison%29 what particularly caught my interested was the hunger strikes of the early 80s where the infamous bobby sands died after 66 days of not eating, the reason being a protest for the prisoners to be see as political figures and have special privilages. I managed to find a photograph of the hunger strikers
also managed to find a few layouts of the infamous h blocks
