THE family of a prisoner who died following multiple failures at Wormwood Scrubs in London voiced concern today about how the prison service is run.
Winston Augustine, 43, who had a mixed black Caribbean and white British ethnic background, was found hanging in his cell in August 2018.
A post-mortem examination showed that he had been suffering from severe pain from kidney stones and starvation.
He had been transferred to the prison’s segregation unit on August 28 and was found hanging 48 hours later.
The inquest heard evidence that during his time on the segregation unit his cell door was not unlocked, he did not receive food or exercise, was not able to shower or make a phone call and received only one low dose of his pain-relief medication.
