Many republican people were imprisoned in specially built prisons referred to as "H" blocks, as an aerial view of the prisons resembled the letter "H". They housed men & women. These inmates regarded themselves as political prisoners. It was announced 1980-03-26 that there would be no special category prisoners as of 1980-04-01 who could wear their own clothes and have free association within the blocks. In September, these prisoners refused to wear prison clothes and wore only their blankets as a protest. These blanket protests soon progressed into hunger strikes. The man depicted in the mural is Raymond McCartney, who is one of many prisoners at Maze Prison who endured a 53 day hunger strike from 1980-10-27 to 1980-12-18. Later on, ten men (notably Bobby Sands) lost their lives in a second hunger strike in 1981.
