The coroner's concerns
1. illicit materials including drugs and mobile phones entering the prison
“the windows of Alpha and Bravo blocks did in 2023 and continue to require upgrading in order to reduce the ability of illicit materials including drugs and mobile phones to enter the prison.”
2. failure to conduct scheduled morning welfare check
“the scheduled morning welfare check did not take place”
