HMP Garth prisoner wrote 'did you think I'd be a dog on a leash?' in note before death
A prisoner told fellow inmates "this is the last time I'm coming out here" the day before he was found dead in his cell.
Fearing he would spend "another five years in prison", London-born Jewell gave his personal possessions, including his "cherished Xbox", to fellow inmates and, after being locked in his cell on D Wing for the night on January 8 of last year, he suspended himself from a ceiling light. The following morning, he was found dead by prison officers, having written "FREE" on his stomach with a biro.
The report revealed that Mr Jewell was the twelfth prisoner to die at Garth since January 2019. Of the previous deaths, five were from natural causes, five were drug-related and one was self-inflicted. There have been two deaths since, one from natural causes and one self-inflicted. In another note he wrote: “F*** the system. I play it easy first time. Second time the lies to hard to maintain. Parole see right through my act, I’m never getting out so I will go on my terms, whatever it takes to be happy.”
