Darren Boamah died in his cell in HMP Wormwood Scrubs last January with wing staff not knowing he was epileptic. An investigation found more should be done to inform staff of prisoners' serious medical conditions.

The attack reportedly happened during a Taylor Swift-themed workshop, resulting in injuries to 10 others, highlighting the escalation of violence in prisons.

Five of the individuals responsible for this senseless attack should never have been in the country in the first place.

Prison officers could be given stab-proof vests after several staff were attacked, allegedly by Manchester bomb plotter Hashem Abedi, highlighting safety concerns in UK jails.

Brinson reportedly called prison guards around 2 am on November 13 from the prison's family visit unit, where he was having an extended conjugal stay with his wife.
