A man held in HMP Humber is being denied medication for his health conditions and harassed by prison officers. His mental health is worsening and his family now fear for his life. Prison managers are aware but have taken no action. https://prisonersolidarity.wixsite.com/psnldn/post/urgent-action-get-james-out-of-hmp-humber">https://prisonersolidarity.wixsite.com/psnldn/po...
James (not his real name) needs to be transferred to a new prison, away from the officers harassing and bullying him, urgently. He hopes that this will enable him to stabilise his mental health, access the medication he needs, and get on with completing his sentence.
We need your help to make this happen!
