Coroner warns more suicides likely at overcrowded Hakea Prison, with inmate mental health at ‘crisis point’

The deputy State coroner has warned more suicides are “likely” at Hakea Prison, with the remand facility at “crisis point” amid overcrowding and overstretched resources.

Sarah Linton investigated dire conditions at the Canning Vale jail for her inquest into the self-harming death of inmate Matthew Francis Leach in December 2021.
