Prison drug failings revealed after inmate death

by Alyssa

A report into the death of a man at HMP Parc has raised serious concerns about how easily prisoners could get drugs.

It comes after Lewis Petryszyn, 25 was found dead in his cell in April 2022 with illegal drugs and unprescribed medication in his system.

Staff had suspected he was selling drugs, and disciplinary hearing paperwork was slipped under his door shortly before he was found dead.

The report by the prisons ombudsman said if the paperwork had been delivered in person, there might have been an opportunity to give Mr Petryszyn medical attention.

It said the prison's drug plan needs updating, which Parc says it has since reviewed.
