Isn't that like blaming the gun when someone gets shot? Blame the building when someone hangs themself?

Shouldn't have something in a cell that could be used for self harm, that would include anything used to hang.

...although...like some said here.....never read about any follow up charges.....

 

 

...thus....seems like quite an extreme action ........considering.....

Because there always has to be something and those intent on harming themselves can be very innovative.

Perhaps the authorities could employ you to design the future perfection of jail cells with no features or facilities, nothing in them at all, just four plain walls.

It makes me wonder what was happening / happened with the prisoner through the circa 30 hours of Tuesday and Tuesday night and from midnight on Tuesday evening through to 6am on Wednesday?

True. Even shoe laces work quite well. Thing is you don't need to hang swinging around, you just Need enough forward pressure while sitting down to black out and then it's all over
