A nurse had to watch helplessly as an inmate died in his cell because prison officers could not locate the keys, according to a damning investigation report that branded the circumstances of his death “unconscionable”.

An investigation into the death at the Midlands Prison in August 2021 by the Office of the Inspector of Prisons (OIP) exposed a chaotic 14-minute delay in retrieving the keys to the man’s cell as he suffered a medical emergency.
