New figures to be published next week are set to show a record number of prisoners killed themselves in jails in England and Wales last year.

Yesterday an inquest jury concluded Dean Saunders, an inmate who killed himself, was ‘let down by a number of failings’ by the prison and by mental health services.

Juliet Lyon, Chair of the Independent Advisory Panel on Deaths in Custody discusses what needs to be done with Charlotte Haworth-Hird the Solicitor representing the family of Dean Saunders.
