Ministry of Justice announces prison overcrowding eased by one vacancy
Inmate found hanged in jail cell
A prisoner has been found hanged in his cell at HMP Manchester, the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) has confirmed.
Trevor Ramsey, 35, was on remand after being convicted of being in possession of drugs with intent to supply.
Ramsey, who was waiting to be sentenced, was declared dead just before 1800 GMT on Saturday.
"Staff and paramedics attempted to resuscitate him", said an MOJ spokesman. "Our thoughts are with the family and friends of Mr Ramsey."
The prisons and probation ombudsman will carry out an investigation into the death.
I suspect that the inquiry will conclude that he hanged himself.
No hope. No dope. No rope. Scrub the last one...
A mixture of law, politics, autobiography and humour. Once described as "The Devilish Advocate" (Guardian), I do have the ability to provoke a response. Sometimes it comes from someone who uses a thought process, and sometimes from jerks usually associated with the knee.
