In January 2003, Sarah Campbell, sentenced to 3 years in jail, died of an overdose within hours of being received at HMP Styal. She was 18-years old. Since then, her mother Pauline Campbell has been arrested three times and organised six protests, aiming to protest whenever a woman dies in a UK jail. Pauline states: "My life is now dedicated to finding out how an 18-year old girl with a known history of depression and drug dependency came to injure herself fatally within hours of being received into prison care. Sarah's death has transformed me...opened my eyes to the fact that women are treated with medieval brutality by our prison system."
