HMP Styal: Prisoner who had stillborn baby 'will never forgive jail'

A prisoner who gave birth to a stillborn baby in the toilet of a cell has said she "will never forgive the prison" for the "horror death".She toldThe Prisons and Probations Ombudsman found there were "missed opportunities" to identify her urgent clinical needs.It also said the duty nurse made "a serious error of judgment" by not visiting her after they were contacted three times about the severe pain Ms Powell was in.

"But there is clearly much more to do to ensure expectant mothers in prison get the same support as those in the community - something I will continue to prioritise." The Ministry of Justice said it had also made improvements and was looking at how "we can better screen for pregnancy in jails so no woman falls through the cracks".

"Hotel 1 [Nurse 2, the duty nurse] contacted three times but would not come out to see her. Tasked night staff with coming to give pain relief and appointment made for triage tomorrow."

Do you forgive yourself for going to jail in the first place?

Her victims will never her

This terrible event happens to many women, I don’t imagine being in jail had anything to do with it, but she didn’t help the child by being there, sad never the less !

Violent crime aggravated assault maybe it God's way of saying you put yourself here by your doing your not fit to. Yes 2 pregnancy tests 1 on arriving 2nd 6 weeks later also drugs/alcohol test. Still born no matter how many weeks isss a Hard memory. I lost 2 21/22 weeks

Maybe....... don't go to jail then?

Some sickening comments on here. Let’s not forget that regardless of what she may have done, that child was innocent and deserved to live.

On her first day she told staff there was 'no chance' she was pregnant. Devastating what happened but she's as responsible for it as they are. Sad that mandatory pregnancy tests are needed because people can't be truthful.
