Some stats from this paper:
A third died aged 26-35; half died aged 40 or less. Mean age at death was 38.
54.1% of deaths were hangings.
46.3% of recorded ligature points were window bars.
85.6% of all deaths concerned male prisoners.
The mean time from death to report was 1.9 years.

Despite refusing hospital transfer, no adequate assessment of the patient's decision-making capacity was carried out and no proper consideration of the impact of her mental health disorder on the decision. #FFLM #MCA #PFD

Useful paper to understand how to negotiate processes effectively and professionally.
