Prisoner Ombudsman

THE Prisoner Ombudsman says there is a "need to ensure that individuals in custody receive the best possible healthcare" following an investigation into the death of a Co Derry man in jail.

A PRISONER Ombudsman investigation into the death of a young man who took his own life in Maghaberry has raised concerns about how the needs of people with "multiple low level health diagnoses" are addressed in custody.

THE death of a 28-year-old prisoner found unresponsive in his cell in Maghaberry Prison in 2018 "could not have been predicted", the Prisoner Ombudsman has found.

PRISON authorities did not miss or delay the cancer diagnosis of convicted child abuser Liam Adams, a watchdog has found after being asked by his relatives to investigate.

THE Prisoner Ombudsman is to investigate the death in custody of a 27-year-old man.

A PRESBYTERIAN minister has been appointed as the new prisoner ombudsman for Northern Ireland.

A 33-YEAR-OLD prisoner has died in custody.

THE parents of a man found dead in a prison cell have said no other family should have to experience their "sadness and pain".

NORTHERN IRELAND is to be left without a designated Prisoner Ombudsman when Tom McGonigle retires from the post next week.

INVESTIGATIONS have been launched after Northern Ireland Prison Service confirmed the death of a man in Magilligan prison in Co Derry.
