Just read this from @scotgov ‘action’ group on deaths in custody “X (SPS) also commented that there may be scope to do some practical things with families and have more direct conversations with them, for example showing them the new ligature cutters…” Jesus wept…
Mother's Day is a painful day for so many of us. We're sending our love to everyone struggling today.
Thank you to @dear_chronic_pain for her beautiful illustration 💙
In a few months it will be 5 years since Katie died. 5 years and still no legal redress. 5 years of countless avoidable deaths @scottishprisons . 5 years of nonsense from @COPFS . 5 years of grief. Human rights? We apparently don’t have any.
@Allan67Linda @TSting18 Thank you Linda I had it done on Wednesday I was a bit worried with all the talk about the NHS but everyone was so professional and the fella who was doing all my pre checks blood pressure etc was from the Philippines he was nice as pie and made me feel at ease.
Of all the evidence I have listened to, todays was (some of)the most harrowing - so many triggers and similarities- total lack of compassion for the traumatic loss.
I don't know about you lot but I'm getting fed up of hearing top police officers apologising. When Sarah Everard was murdered they apologised then and promised they would be changes in the police Force. Sack the whole lot of them and let them apply again.
Similarly I submitted a FOI on their suicide prevention strategy. Amateurish doesn’t even cover it (recently supported by the COPFS) Time for a root and branch review of what’s going on in the SPS re. Risk. @KeithBrownSNP @NicolaSturgeon
This is welcomed news but I can’t help but wonder why no such similar “urgent review” has taken place for the hundreds of individuals who have taken their own lives across the SPS estate. There is much requiring “urgent review “.
Hi Linda and family another year has past. I think this is a beautiful song I remember some time ago you saying Katie like Scottish music I do hope I've got it right. Thinking of you all at this time of the year love Julie and Chris ❤
