Remembering Pauline: One Year On…
originally published: May 2008
Pauline Campbell was found dead on 15th May 2008, lying on the grave of her daughter Sarah. Sarah died in January 2003 in HMP Styal.
INQUEST’s staff were very sad to receive news of the death of Pauline Campbell. We advised and supported Pauline after her 18 year old daughter Sarah died in Styal prison in January 2003 and through the long and difficult investigation and inquest process.
Her grief and anger at the horrendous circumstances in which her daughter died and the insensitive way she, as a bereaved parent, was treated after the death motivated her tireless campaigning to expose the continuing death toll in women’s prisons.
