HMP Woodhill has received an Urgent Notification - the government's prison watchdog's most serious formal warning - twice in three years. People in crisis are waiting an average of 191 days for transfer to secure mental health care, among the longest delays ever recorded. HMP Woodhill is a warning. I'm asking you to write to the Minister of State for Prisons, Probation and Reducing Reoffending, and call on them to: 1. Ensure the Governor of the prison in or in closest proximity to our constituency adopts the crisis response procedures, suicide prevention training, and family communication practices set out in full in The Woodhill Commitments [https://docs.google.com/document/d/17yR-jSpkmelz3BwtJN-MVvuov-aeTFjKzMo0ejuOlQg/edit?tab=t.0]. 2. Prioritise the removal of ligature points from prison cells across the estate without further delay. 3. Guarantee bereaved families a place in death-in-custody oversight, including representation on the Independent Advisory Panel on Deaths in Custody. I also urge you to add your name to the open letter backing The Woodhill Commitments [https://www.lungtheatre.co.uk/campaigns1/woodhill]. I'd be grateful for a response.
