HM Maze Prison is a false construction, linguistically.

Long Kesh was renamed HMP Maze following the introduction of direct rule in 1972 (http://www.niprisonservice.gov.uk/maze.htm)

Maze Prison or The Maze are much commoner colloquial names (outside republican/nationalist circles) and should be the name given to the article, especially when accepted practice of giving the official name in the first line is continued. --garryq 17:28, 28 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

Could someone elaborate on "Special Category"?

Origin of the name

What is the origin of the name "Maze"? A maze, an earlier placename, somebody so called?

Defined Special Category

I added some stuff about Special Category status. I wasn't sure if I should elaborate on the difference between internees and convicts, so I'm counting on people to realize the distinction between the two.

Common criminals

Were there any common criminals in HMP Maze, or was it solely for terrorists? GCarty 09:12, 14 Dec 2004 (UTC)
