'Men have died of suicide, drug overdoses and health problems while doing time at the Category D men's prison, located at Ford near Arundel.

Last year, a report from the prison watchdog found that the jail was "certainly not decent or humane".

The information comes from the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO) which lists inmates who passed while serving their time. #JusticeForIPPs
Many of the names have been removed to protect the privacy of the individuals concerned.

For deaths after March 1, 2015, the name of the deceased remains in the report, but other names have been anonymised.

The inquest into the death of Charlotte Nokes concluded with the jury finding her death was by ‘natural causes’. Charlotte was 38 when she was found dead in her cell in HMP Peterborough on the morning of 23 July 2016. #JusticeforIPPs 1/3
She was serving an indefinite Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence and was over seven years over the minimum tariff when she died. #JusticeForIPPs inquest.org.uk/charlotte-noke…
If Charlotte Nokes had been released 7 years earlier, when her actual sentence was supposed to end would she be dead? Please sign the petition and demand #JusticeForIPPs petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5995…
