Series of prison riots and uprisings in Poland

The 1989 Polish prison riots refers to an outbreak of violence, which took place at four maximum-security prisons in northwestern Poland in late 1989. The riots were the result of political changes which had taken place in Poland in early and mid-1989, such as the Round Table Agreement, and the subsequent parliamentary election.
