We are deeply saddened by the death of Pauline, and had great admiration for her stance on prison authorities – she will be sadly missed.
Pauline has been a tireless campaigner against deaths of women in custody since the tragic death of her daughter Sarah in 2003.
She was awarded the Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize in October 2005. The prize is awarded each year to a woman or group who has, through their actions, writing or campaigning; raised awareness of violence against women and children.

Time to take appropriate action. Can the Rangers supporters be called upon here?
