Durham Prison death inquest criticises restraint methods
November 10, 2022
The use of restraint techniques on a prison inmate who was found hanged in his cell was “disproportionate”, an inquest has concluded.
Senior assistant coroner Crispin Oliver said “action should be taken to deal with a ‘critical lack of staffing’ at the prison but notably in the segregation unit”.
