A Strangeways prisoner who spent 12 hours protesting on the roof of the high security jail was among those jailed this week. Joe Outlaw eventually came down from the roof at about 4am on Thursday morning after spending the night protesting against a controversial punishment which he is currently subject to.
He was brought before a court just hours later for a previous incident in another Greater Manchester prison. Others jailed in Greater Manchester this week include a crack addict who was banned from every Boots store across the country, armed robbers who targeted the siblings of footballers Marcus Rashford and Trent Alexander-Arnold, and a cocaine dealer who was rumbled after sharing a picture of his driving licence.

Jail terms are handed out to the worst offenders each week at the region's courts. Manchester Evening News reporters are on the press bench to cover the most serious cases.
Hours before he appeared in court, Joe Outlaw had scaled the roof of Strangeways prison in a 12 hour protest. Outlaw was apparently railing against IPP, sentences of imprisonment for the public protection, which were scrapped in 2012.
But Outlaw and other prisoners are still serving the sentences, which have since been branded 'unjust'. He was jailed in 2011 for robbery for an indeterminate period.
Hours after coming down from the roof Outlaw appeared at Bolton Crown Court by video link from HMP Manchester and was sentenced for a previous incident at HMP Hindley in Wigan. Outlaw, 36, admitted causing criminal damage to his cell on January 28 last year.
The court heard that he spent the early evening making threats he would smash up his care and separation
