Coroner: "Getting to the truth has been challenging" at inquest into deaths of 3 men in prison. The bereaved families we represent deserve better.

Chaotic prison handover contributed to deaths channel4.com/news/chaotic-p…
We know that the failure to reduce the prison population will inevitably worsen the already abysmal levels of physical & mental ill health of people in prison. At the sharp end, it will put lives at risk. Join us in demanding a halt to prison building now to save lives.
Kay Melhuish's self-inflicted death at Eastwood Park prison in 2022 has been found by an inquest jury to have been contributed to by neglect. There were 2 more self-inflicted deaths there within 6 months. Kay's family call for change to prevent more deaths of women in prison.
We welcome the new Government's commitment in the #KingsSpeech to implement #HillsboroughLaw. This would not have happened without the longstanding campaigning from bereaved families & survivors & @NowHillsborough . inquest.org.uk/kings-speech-h…

"The deplorable situation at HMP Lowdham Grange, with 5 self-inflicted deaths in 1yr, is a chilling example of what happens when the private providers focus on avoiding responsibility & protecting reputation rather than protecting lives." -@SelenCavcav insidetime.org/comment/a-pris…
Urgent action is needed to address the long delays faced by prisoners awaiting mental health transfers and end the wholly inappropriate use of prisons as a ‘place of safety’. These settings are not therapeutic environments and put the lives of acutely unwell individuals at risk.

Kane Boyce died a self-inflicted death at HMP Lowdham Grange in 2021. An inquest found that multiple failures by the prison. His fiancée spoke to ITV News. @dpg_law @gardencourtlaw itv.com/watch/news/hmp…

🧵[1/5] Today the Ministry of Justice published the latest data on deaths & self-harm in prison for 2023. It shows an increase in the number of people who died in prison: 311 people died in 2023 compared to 301 the previous year. gov.uk/government/sta…
No reforms can make prison a safe place for pregnant women. Prisons are inherently harmful and dangerous. We need to dismantle women’s prisons and reinvest funding in communities and community services. @we_level_up @INQUEST_ORG theguardian.com/society/2023/o…
⚠️NEWS The number of self-inflicted deaths in prisons has risen by 24% in the 12 months to September, with 92 apparent self-inflicted deaths. There were a total of 304 deaths of people in prison in the period, stats release today show. OUR RESPONSE ⬇️ inquest.org.uk/prisonstats-oc…
“Inquests expose indefensible levels of neglect and despair in prisons, with coroners highlighting issues of staffing, basic failures in care, and inability to enact suicide and self-harm monitoring procedures.” @lucybrisbane speaking to @ObserverUK bit.ly/3PL7De0
In 2022-23, 92 self-inflicted deaths occurred which was 5 more than last year. These deaths included cases which raised adult safeguarding and self-neglect issues. Prisons have a duty to keep prisoners safe and protect them from abuse and neglect.

Stacey MacDonald died 3 days after leaving prison. Her sister, Heather, said: "Although it won’t bring Stacey back and as difficult and heartbreaking as it was at times, the investigation was thorough and seems to have brought about some direct changes." peterboroughtoday.co.uk/news/people/fa…
