Conjoined fatal accident inquiries are to be held into the deaths of James Garscadden, Thomas Thompson and Marius Bauba at HMP Shotts.
An inquiry into the deaths of three prisoners within months of each other will focus on how illegal drugs enter the prison estate and circulate there.
At a virtual preliminary hearing on Thursday, fiscal depute Jennifer Guy said that the FAI will explore issues including policies around drugs in prison, and the use of overdose treatment naloxone at HMP Shotts. Mr Thompson, 46, was found dead in his cell on April 17 2021; while Mr Garscadden, 32, was found dead in his cell on the morning of June 27 2021. Mr Bauba, 28, died at Wishaw General Hospital on July 24 2021.
“The focus for the Crown of the evidence from those witnesses will be around the actions taken with reference to the code red, code blue policy where Mr Bauba is first discovered by the officers in the afternoon and then the use of naloxone by staff within the prison, that will be the focus of the evidence.”
