From all of our hundreds of Remembrance Calendar entries, we particularly feature certain cases that were of notable historical significance.
Pauline Campbell
Pauline Campbell was found dead on 15th May 2008, lying on the grave of her daughter Sarah who had tragically died in January 2003 whilst in HMP Styal.
4WardEverUK set up a website in memory of Pauline shortly after her death, and maintains this site in her honour and to ensure that stories related to the deaths of women and young girls within the prison and psychiatric system were kept in the public eye.
Tippa Naphtali, of 4WardEverUK and The Friends of Mikey Powell Campaign said; “Pauline was the type of person that if you only ever met her once, you would be sure never to forget."
“Pauline's presence had a more worrying connotation for Government officials and departments and authorities within the prison and mental health service, and she became a most forceful and articulate thorn in their side forcing home the message that deaths in the prison and psychiatric system simply had to be addressed.”
