When someone in prison is clearly in crisis, prison staff are supposed to act swiftly to prevent suicide & self-harm. Research shows, that not only do officers routinely fail to recognise mental health warning signs, but they’ve been found allowing and even encouraging self-harm.

This photo is 4 years old today it popped up on my phone. My eldest loves swimming and I use to take him regularly. He was my little mini me. We went everywhere together we were always out walking and visiting people. Everyone in the shops always knew us. If I'd be out of sight for a second he would look for me. We always used to go in a shop where they sold children's toys and clothes. The 2 people who run it were fabulous with him. They used to pick him up so I could look around and I always had to be within his eye shot. I look back and cherish those days. Never take your children and your time with them for granted. So many mothers as you will have seen from my last post don't have that time with their children at all.
