The coroner's concerns
1. sex offender prisoners housed with general population
“It was discussed at the inquest and concluded in evidence that it is not possible to keep offences secret for the most part because although the prisoners have no access to the wide internet themselves in their cells, they only have to ask someone on the phone or at a visit to find out what someone is in for and it can be that easy. Also heard at the inquest was that many mainstream prisoners held strong views that they did not wish to share their living space with men convicted of sex offences.”
