Title: Hidden Despair: The deaths of foreign national prisoners

Summary: This report examines recent suicides of foreign national prisoners in the UK, showing how the prison regime exacerbates the risk of self-harm and suicide through despair. A full report of the IRR's research into BME deaths in police custody, prisons and immigration removal centres, between 1992 and 2014, will be published in February 2015. Hidden despair exposes a catalogue of failure in the penal system: failures by prison staff to recognise the high vulnerability of some foreign offenders, especially young men; failures by immigration officers to communicate decisions, and failures to act on indications of suicidal intent.

Details: London: Institute of Race Relations, 2014. 9p.
