Mourning mother slams conditions at Nottingham Prisonpublished at 09:00 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January 2018

Sharon Whitford's son Marc Maltby killed himself just days after starting a four-month sentence at Nottingham Prison last year - the fifth death there in a month.
She told Radio 4's Today programme her son told her conditions were "horrible", with prisoners harming themselves, not getting food on time, living in "mucky" cells and not having attention paid to them by guards.
"It was uncontrollable - people were taking drugs, they were easy to get, and basically nobody really cared," she said.
Ms Whitford explained there was "no indication" over how vulnerable her son's mental health was, and she is still waiting to find out the full details of how he died.
"When they're sent to prison it's for their own good and to keep them out of trouble and to keep them out of danger," she said.
"Obviously that's not being done, because my son's not coming home."

MP wants to see swift improvement at Nottingham Prisonpublished at 08:50 Greenwich Mean Time 19 January 2018

BBC News
A Nottingham MP says improvements need to be made quickly at Nottingham Prison after the Chief Inspector of Prisons labelled it "fundamentally unsafe".

Chris Leslie, Labour MP for Nottingham East, said he hoped the criticism would lead to swift action.
He said: "A lot of people will say 'who cares about prisoners? This doesn't really matter' but if you have prisoners that aren't able to be rehabilitated, ultimately they're going to come back into the community and reoffend."
