Description

Sonny Lodge died by his own hand in the segregation unit of Manchester prision on 28 August 1998. He had been due for release that day, from a five month sentence, but remained in prison remanded on a charge of assaulting a prison officer. The purpose of the Inquiry was to examine the care of Mr Lodge in order to identify any deficiences and help prevent similar tragedies. The report describes in detail the events preceding Mr Lodge's death; makes recommendations and looks at the changes that have been made since then. Though practice at that time was generally not breached it was unsatisfactory and that 'there was systemic failure to protect Sonny Lodge in the last days of his life..'
