Barlinnie prisoner found dead in cell two days after arrest on Glasgow street

A prisoner took his own life just two days after being remanded to Barlinnie jail.

Stephen Masson was found dead in his cell in D Hall days after being arrested in Glasgow city centre for attacking a police officer.

A Fatal Accident Inquiry heard that a prison guard found the 47-year-old's body just hours after he'd been told he wasn't on the list to receive methadone that day. The officer was not aware that Masson had previously attempted suicide a few months earlier.
