Cage Eleven: Writings from Prison

Long before he became President of Sinn Fein, Gerry Adams was a civil-rights activist who led sit-ins, marches and protests in Northern Ireland. Along with hundreds of other men, Adams was interned on the Maidstone prison ship and in Long Kesh prison — without charge or trial — during the 1970s for his political activities. Cage Eleven is his own account — sometimes passionate, often humorous — of life in Long Kesh. Written while Adams was a prisoner, the pieces were smuggled out for publication.
