Suicide inmate's mother warned prison

Suicide inmate's mother warned prison

Inquest hears staff were 'repeatedly' told of prisoner's deteriorating mental state

The death of Michael Bailey, 23, at HMP Rye Hill near Rugby in Warwickshire led to the trial and subsequent acquittal of four serving prison officers. A damning inspectors' report in the month after his death found conditions at the jail to be "unsafe and unstable" for both inmates and staff.
