A 32-year-old woman has died just one day after her release from prison.
Jaymielee Crow was found dead on the morning after her release from HMP Low Newton, near Durham. She had just finished serving a 22 weeks' imprisonment for shoplifting and assaulting emergency workers when she was released on June 21, 2022.
A Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO) investigation into her death reported that Crow had a history of substance misuse and had been in prison on a number of occasions. She did well in the prison environment, but faced challenges with life in the community and had requested support with this.
