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. Women were interned also, in Armagh Women’s Prison. Cage Eleven is his own account – sometimes passionate, often humorous – of life in Long Kesh.
