HMP Forest Bank<\/p>\n
Thirty-three-year-old Dean Clementson died at HMP Forest Bank Prison on April 1. His death follows that of another inmate in November 2024, after which an ombudsman investigation was launched.<\/p>\n
A recent inspection conducted by the HM Inspectorate of Prisons found that the private prison failed to provide a suitable environment for rehabilitation due to high levels of violent incidents.<\/p>\n
The report also depicted the prison as dangerous for both staff and inmates in terms of drug use, violence and self harm.<\/p>\n
HMP Forest Bank said: \u201cWe understand this is a difficult time for Mr. Clementson\u2019s family and friends, and our thoughts remain with them.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are fully cooperating with all relevant parties during the investigation \u2013 however, as this is ongoing, we are not able to comment further.\u201d<\/p>\n
Police said there were no suspicious circumstances.<\/p>\n
