Currently, almost two people kill themselves in prison each week, according to government statistics. One in five deaths occur in a prison hospital or segregation unit.
While in the community there are strict time limits to ensure swift admission to hospital for those who need it, in prison it takes on average 100 days to transfer someone to hospital during which time their condition is likely to be deteriorating.
Around 6,954 people are serving a life sentence and a further 1,784 people are serving sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP). Despite its abolition in 2012, almost all (96%) people still in prison serving an IPP sentence have passed their tariff expiry date.
