      That’s surprising. I thought the prison officers were taking extra special care of them in that prison.

      This opinion has always been controversial, but I think that after a trial/conviction inmates should not be prevented from suicide if they choose.

      Everybody wins.

      Edit: don’t just downvote, please explain the downside to this if you see one.

      44% of prisoners using drugs? Must be significant corruption among wardens, much bigger problem than one office having sex with an inmate.

      It’s always been a problem at Wandsworth.

      In the past, I don’t know if it still is, but Wandsworth used to have higher suicide risk due to the prison being a dispersal prison. Convicts would arrive there directly after sentencing, which definely increases suicide risk. Once prisoners are allocated to a serving prison the suicide risk goes significantly down.

      Suicides? Or “suicides”

      I’m putting my conspiracy hat on despite knowing nothing about wandsworth or the dead inmates. It’s more fun this way
