Mum of a young man with mental health issues who's been failed by the system & moved around some of the worst UK prisons #hmpswaleside#hmpbelmarsh & #hmplewes
My son is in hospital after I lost contact 6 weeks ago, hes now receiving treatment for a dislocated shoulder and multiple injuries from beatings from officers. I only found out because he remembered my number, the prison didn't even tell me he was critically ill and injured
Detaining people in prison lays open the possibility of them being tortured or abused by their captors. In most countries in the world, even in the richest democracies, there are insufficient controls in place to prevent this. There must be accountability.

"Some antipsychotic medications & antidepressants may hinder the body from regulating temperature properly. Certain drugs can cause people to sweat excessively, or not register thirst." Many prisoners are experiencing excessive temperatures & are on these.

My son’s given permission for his first name to be known I think this may help in understanding that he is a person who is suffering…his name is William. William is waiting for surgery overdue and delayed due to HMP incompetence ..the current NHS hospital @NHSEngland are v slow
William has done remarkably well to write this letter, he struggled with bits of it but i’m proud he is able to communicate better now. pleas keep praying for my son
I asked William to write in his own words what impact being disabled and in pain for so many months has meant to him. it’s been over a year! Please help share this story…prisoners should have rights to not come out disabled due to officer brutality…serving time should be enough
@norahdonlan@NHSEngland Bless him , he used to win a lot of handwriting competitions at school he was very bright, and hopefully will rekindle his spark one day xx thanks
@HMP_Woodhill I have found out that you let officers open the cell up and all the other inmates helped themselves (steal) my sons property ..He has no clothes I am going to be posting a go fund me this is a disgrace we have spent so much money as a family kitting him out 😢
my sons paperwork was lost in @HMP_HighDown and @HMP_Woodhill The guards taunted him saying there was no proof he needed an operation this led to his mental health breakdown and further delay in his operation William gets very triggered and mentally unwell when neglected.
can’t wait to see my son! we are going to do power of attorney so i’m never put in this position again because he did want to see me, it’s just he was so unwell in @HMP_Woodhill that the governor almost took delight in telling me she was respecting my sons wishes…l
