Prisoner death report critical of authorities

A report into the death of a prisoner in Cloverhill courthouse in 2011 has found that organs of the prison system failed to communicate with each other, failed to adhere to standard work practices and didn't keep adequate records.

Prison staff did not warn colleagues an inmate was on suicide watch before he was found hanged in a courthouse holding cell, a report has found.

Shane Rogers was on remand at Cloverhill Prison, Dublin, in December 2011 for killing Crossmaglen GAA star James Hughes when he died.
