Recommendation, verbatim from the inquiry
●Inquiry recommendation, Part 5, Chapter 55: Cell-sharing; recommendation follows paragraph 55.9
The Prison Service should retain its practice of placing prisoners who are at risk of suicide or self-harm, but who are not so vulnerable as to require being on suicide watch at all times or accommodated in a safer cell, in a cell with another prisoner who they can talk to in times of crisis. The practice should be extended to women’s prisons to the extent that it is not already happening.
