HM Prison Oxford

HM Prison Oxford was a prison in Oxford Castle from 1888 until 1996. The castle had been used as a prison since the seventeenth century, but it only acquired the name HM Prison Oxford in the 1888 prison reforms. In August 1972, prisoners staged a rooftop protest as part of the prison strike organised by Preservation of the Rights of Prisoners. After its closure, the hotel chain Malmaison converted the former prison into a hotel which opened in 2005.
