Update: 2025-12-16
Description
Matthew Osborne, a 39-year-old prisoner, was found dead in his cell at HMP Lowdham Grange, marking the fifth such discovery at the Nottinghamshire jail in 2023. An inquest revealed that nearly two hours passed without a check on him. The prison, taken over by Sodexo in February 2023, had three prisoner deaths within six weeks. Ian Whiteside, the interim director, testified about staffing issues, incomplete check records, and a culture of staff not caring. Matthews sister, Jasmine Osborne, expressed her familys devastation and their belief that Lowdham Grange was an unsafe prison.
