Kevin Clarke died in 2018 following police restraint by the Met whilst experiencing a mental health crisis.
Now 2 Met officers could be sacked for gross misconduct in connection to Kevin’s death.

Can’t even imagine the amount of money that has been spent prosecuting, caging, appealing these ten boys from starting trial to now. Thinking of everything involved in it, prisons, court costs, whatever.
Imagine that money in community.

Echo @LouiseSlorance “s comments. With deaths in prison custody even H&SW prosecutions are impossible due to crown immunity. No accountability, deaths keep happening under similar circumstances (a fundament of the FAI system ) @JohnSwinney @AConstance23

An example of staff culture in a prison where 15 people have died since the beginning of 2023. More than half of those deaths (8) were self-inflicted.

Almost 20 yrs ago IPP was introduced. Almost 12 yrs ago it was abolished.
So, is this really the best the government can come up with - to look at the 30% who are in the “wrong” prison & to analyse data?
This is not enough!

1. I listened to the clear, concise and articulate evidence from @LouiseSlorance today. Why do bereaved families have to fight so hard for simple truths? What motivates us is learning lessons and prevention of tragedy in the future.

“Today, we are devastated. No family should endure the unimaginable grief we have faced.
Chris was stolen from us, and this decision shows his life - and many others like him - does not matter to the system. Our son deserved better."

My dad, Nuclear Weapons Testing and me. The story of how Dad’s service affected myself and my son.
