An inmate was just weeks away from being released when he was found dead in his Altcourse prison cell.
Stuart Robinson, from Billinge, Wigan was 20 years old when he was found at HMP Altcourse - a Category B men's prison that holds around 1,164 prisoners. An inquest into his death previously opened at the Gerard Majella Courthouse heard that he had been sentenced on March 3 that year to 26 weeks in prison.
Arriving to custody with a "suicide and self-harm" warning, Mr Robinson was due to be released on June 1. However, he was found in his cell at around 5am on April 25, 2021. Despite the best efforts of paramedics, he was pronounced dead at 5.16am.
