Deaths in prison: A national scandal (INQUEST, January 2020)
Claire Cox posted an article in Prison setting
Every four days a person takes their life in prison, and rising numbers of ‘natural’ and unclassified deaths are too often found to relate to serious failures in healthcare. The lack of government action on official recommendations is leading to preventable deaths. Deaths in prison: A national scandal exposes dangerous, longstanding failures across the prison estate and historically high levels of deaths in custody, and offers unique insight and analysis into findings from 61 prison inquests in England and Wales in 2018 and 2019. The report details repeated safety failures, including mental and physical healthcare, communication systems, emergency responses, and drugs and medication. It also looks at the wider statistics and historic context, showing the repetitive and persistent nature of such failings.- Posted

Content ArticleThe Healthcare Safety Investigation Branch (HSIB) investigated the case study of Martin, a 43-year old inmate, who suffered multiple seizures after his epilepsy medication wasn’t transferred with him to a new prison. Each day around 120 prisoners with ongoing medication needs are moved between jails. Martin’s case is just one example of a serious outcome when medication was missed. Prisoners may also need to be treated in the community at local hospitals, with prison security staff being taken away from planned duties to accompany them.
