The Pentonville Five were five docker shop stewards jailed in July 1972 by the National Industrial Relations Court (NIRC) for contempt of court. They were sent to HM Prison Pentonville in London. The background to the strike was a clash between the Conservative government under Edward Heath elected in June 1970 and the Trade Union movement, involving the first national miners strike in Britain since 1926, with mass picketing, and clashes between police and workers. ]Initially the police arrested all bar Vic Turner on the picket line at Chobham Farm.
