Claim as suicide toll soars Prisons in GBP31m finance 'crisis'.
(From Yorkshire Post)
Chris Benfield The Prison Service is in financial meltdown, it was claimed yesterday, after figures revealed inmate suicides at record levels.
Home Office figures showed 95 prisoners had killed themselves in England and Wales in 2004. These included 13 women, compared with only one in 1994.
The totals include five deaths at New Hall women's prison, near Wakefield, where staff have spoken out about the strain they are under from increasing numbers of mentally ill inmates.
Also included is the year's most high-profile cell death - killer doctor Harold Shipman, who hanged himself in Wakefield Prison in January.
Yesterday, the Tories produced an e-mail from the director general of the Prison Service, Phil Wheatley, saying the service had overspent by GBP31m over the year and he needed the money back from a "managed recruitment ban" and cuts in spending on maintenance, conferences and travel.
In the leaked letter, sent to staff on December 8, Mr Wheatley said the overspend was "not the result of bad financial management".
