Concern has been expressed that Northern Ireland’s Prison Service does not have the resources it needs to support inmates with multiple health issues.
Prisoner Ombudsman Dr Lesley Carroll was speaking following an investigation into the death of a young at-risk prisoner at HMP Maghaberry.
Daniel McConville, 22, had been at the jail for 70 days when he was found unresponsive in his cell on August 30 2018. Despite efforts, he could not be revived. An inquest is to take place into his death.
