Stoke Heath prison has been told to make a series of improvements to better prepare staff for medical emergencies following an investigation into a prisoner’s death.
Abul Kashem Miah died in hospital on April 21 last year, three days after suffering a heart attack in the prison yard.
The report says: “Prisoners did not use the alarm to alert staff to the emergency, due to a culture of not wanting to be perceived as helping staff, and fears of being adjudicated for improper use. When oxygen was brought to the scene, it was administered by the first nurse, who told investigators they had felt “nervous and uncertain about this process”.
Three days later, following a visit from his family, Mr Miah stopped responding to treatment and died, aged 44.
