“High rates of self-harm and self-inflicted death, and being locked up for more than 22 hours a day in dirty vermin-infested cells, is the reality of life in Wandsworth prison." - Deborah Coles speaking to The Times and The Sunday Times thetimes.com/uk/crime/artic…

“PFDs just disappear into the ether. Without central oversight allowing the public to track progress on PFDs, the same failures recur and the preventative potential of inquests is undermined.” - Deborah Coles in The Times and The Sunday Times today thetimes.com/uk/healthcare/…

There’s an evident gap in the system: it’s meant to prevent future deaths, achieve accountability & justice & truth for bereaved families, but the whole system stops after the inquest & before actions need to be taken. - Julia Waters, sister of Ruth Perry thetimes.com/uk/article/rut…

2/2 None of the scrutiny or critical findings would have been exposed but for the determination of the families over 6 years to see justice for their loved ones against a backdrop of secrecy, delay, and denial. They deserve a legacy of action, systemic change & accountability.

Full of respect and admiration for these families who have fought for truth for 6 years. The emotional toll placed on them is often overlooked and how others bereaved after state violence and neglect feel their pain as they see deaths repeated and no accountability or change.

. Deborah Coles “said systemic change should involve a radical change in the investigation of deaths in custody, with more timely inquiries and access to legal aid for grieving families.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/j…
