 | | An inquest on an inmate at Styal prison, where six women died in the space of 12 months, has concluded that the jail was, "inadequate" at assessing her needs, and the drug detoxification programme she was placed on was " inappropriate and insufficient to her needs". |
 | | Anna Claire Baker, a 29-year-old mother of two, was found hanged in her cell at Styal in November 2002. |
 | | Deborah Coles, from the campaign group Inquest, said the verdict was an indictment of the failure of Styal and the Prison Service, to act on warnings about their inability to keep women in safe custody. |
