UK: More deaths at Parc private prison: A teenager, Michael Rooke, has become the second prisoner to commit suicide, at the UK's first high-tech private prison, within a week. The body of Delwyn Price, a remand prisoner, was found dead in his cell at Parc prison a few days earlier. Four prisoners have now died at the south Wales jail since it opened 13 months ago. The prison was heavily fined for its failings earlier this year and the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee also criticised operational failings (see Statewatch Vol 8, no 5).
