From everyone at the 4WardEver Campaign.
Such a sad sad loss. We had great respect and admiration for Pauline; she set an example to everyone and showed what dogged commitment and perseverance can achieve.
You will be remembered always.
One Love

It is so sad to hear this news. I never met Mrs Campbell, but followed her in the press quite a lot.
What a terrible loss, but I guess she could not console herself of a grave loss.
Be at peace dear lady… You are with sarah again.
With love,
Carlla McKenzie

A very great loss; I was in email contact with Pauline the day before she died and had attended two of her demonstrations. A lady of integrity, courage, great compassion and dedication. I am privileged to have known her, to have shared concerns and know this is such a great loss.My sincere good wishes to all who knew her and are also affected by her passing. May Pauline and Sarah rest in peace

We’re so sad. From when we first learned about Pauline, we’ve always admired her bravery and courage. She demonstrated how one determined person can actually make a difference, despite the obligatory intimidation by the police and the authorities. Pauline lives on in our hearts.

In our last conversation Pauline said she was fearless. She was. She was brave and courageous and compassionate and caring. She will be greatly missed.
And we will continue to campaign in her memory.
Pauline and your beloved daughter, Sarah, RIP.

Pauline was an inspiration to many and I was glad to know her. She spoke to students where I work and her courage, determination and kindness will remain with them.

This message goes out to the remaining family of Pauline Campbell.
I too am a mother who has lost their child and I know the pain you must have been going through after the sad loss of her daughter. It chips away at your heart every hour of every day. Sometimes the pain is stronger than other days. I believe you are now at rest with your daughter and are now pain free and I wish you be at peace now and forever as no mother deserves to loose their child in the first place.
We live in such a hostile, uncaring society with no real justice system to protect us. All I know is I will do the best I can to fight these injustices. My son was killed by the Metropolitan Police and I will do what I can to support other families and put pressure on Parliament and hope that my fight will help others.
Unity is Strength.
Peace and Much Love to Pauline’s remaining family.

I am in shock. Not so long ago I appeared on a television programme with Pauline. She spoke passionately on the programme about the plight of women in prisons and after the programme we spoke about how we could raise the profile of our campaigns using the media.
She was full of life and looking forward. Over the last few years she has been ever present at important moments in our struggle having the ability to appear anywhere regardless of distance.
She came to us because of a personal tragedy nevertheless it is hard to imagine marching without her.
But be strong people, one way or another she will be with us in our victory of good over evil.

I was lucky to have known Pauline and be on several of the demos she put together, she was an inspiration and fearless.
“True revolutionaries are motivated by love” Pauline was motivated to do what she did through the love of her daughter Sarah.
Pauline will be missed but not forgotten, the struggle continues.

pauline was so very special. i wish that i had met her before sarah’s death, i wish i had met them both in those days.
instead i met her outside holloway prison at a demo.
she was so full of love and anger, a very potent combination. she was brave and clever and funny. but she was clearly also in a lot of pain.
i loved her from the moment i met her. that’s all it took, to know what a unique hero she was.
i now feel strongly that the rest of us must continue her struggle, we can’t allow women’s deaths in prison to go unchallenged now that pauline is not with us.
i am so sad that she has gone, i hope she is with sarah now. at least her pain is over. but i will always consider her death to be yet another death caused by the prison system because if they hadn’t killed her girl she would be with us now.

Rest in peace Pauline. You leave behind a proud legacy. To cover your tireless campaigning as a journalist was an inspiration. To know you as a friend was a great honour.

A terrible loss to all those in and out of prison struggling for justice for prisoners.

I never got to meet Ms Campbell but I read alot about her in the local paper etc.
Ms Campbell is an inspiration and a true hero.
it is sad that she started her campaigns due to tragic circumstances but the courage and strength she showed over the past few years is incredible.
More people should take a leaf out of Ms Campbell’s book and fight for what they believe in. Ms Campbell highlighted something that has been brushed under the carpet for so long.
May she rest in peace and I hope that she and her daughter are together again

What words can be expressed that have not already been said.
I was away when Pauline passed away, shocked at reading the terrible news.
I too am a greiving mother who’s child died at the hands of the state, still trying to come to terms with the events that took place.
Pauline fought the good fight and herb legacy will live on forever. Her passion for justice we cannot put in words.
We must press on and continue this fight for justice……..it will come.
God Bless and Keep us all in Faith

Pauline was such an important example for courage, utter commitment and determination in the face of the overwhelming pain of loosing her only daugther and against the ‘normalised’ brutality and dehumanisation of the prison system.
