## Resource

Gareth Chumber-Kelly died just four days into his remand at HMP Pentonville, his mother blaming systemic failures that turned the prison into a death sentence. Despite warning signs — including his own statements about self-harm — critical mental health support was denied, welfare checks ignored, and staff failed to act even after he self-harmed. Hourly observations were routinely skipped, staffing was dangerously low, and one officer falsified records of his last seen alive. First responders panicked and failed to provide basic life support. His claustrophobic cell and the prison’s overcrowded, neglected conditions were described as inhumane. Saroj Chumber now demands HMP Pentonville be shut down, citing a pattern of preventable deaths ignored by authorities — while the Ministry of Justice claims improvements, the family says it’s too little, too late.
