LOYALIST prisoners assisted IRA inmates on the dirty protest, by passing through to them parcels from outside the prison, according to a 1978 NIO paper.
An internal memo dated September 1, 1978, reported on the situation in H6, where the protests were focused.
It said that H6’s spirits were being maintained with a campaign of support in H3, H4 and H5.
In response to the protests, prisoners were denied privileges, however.
