, looking into the deaths of 22 BAME prisoners, and how their deaths were preventable. It calls for the government to do more to scrutinise prison deaths, make data available, and for funding to be redirected away from the criminal justice system and towards welfare, health, education and housing.
The report states that, on the day before he died, prison staff found a large quantity of uneaten food in Mohammed’s cell.during his time there, describing him as “bewildered” and “child-like”. While prison staff considered that he may have had a learning disability or mental ill health, Mohammed was never seen by the learning disability nurse nor received a full mental health assessment.
Among the report recommendations is a government-produced “detailed action plan” to address the issues of racialised deaths in prisons, and called on the Ministry of Justice to ensure data related to the race of prisoners in safety in custody data be freely available.
