Katie Allan took her own life in June of 2018
The mum of tragic Glasgow woman, Katie Allan, who died in custody has blasted prosecutors and prison officers for "lies, insults and disdain".
“What is so difficult to accept is the knowledge that one day we will have to relive the horror of Katie’s last weeks, in a court, and to accept the amount of additional trauma that has been piled on us for so long.” “The insensitivity of the Crown Office has left me breathless, every single time. At our first meeting when we were told there was no evidence for a criminal prosecution, no one listened to all we had discovered.
Linda's daughter Katie took her own life in June of 2018 while serving a sentence for a hit-and-run crash while driving drunk. After the series of deaths in Scotland's prisons were highlighted, a Scottish Government review into how such deaths are handled was launched.
