Prison bosses failed to tell the family of an inmate that he was seriously ill in hospital and had prostate cancer. His relatives only found out by chance three weeks later when they arrived at Strangeways to visit Lenford Lloyd White and he was not there.

The prison and Forest Bank jail in Agecroft, Salford, are both criticised in a report by the Prisons and Probation Ombusdsman into White's death.

It concludes that the clinical care he got while in prison was inadequate. White died in hospital, aged 65, on March 19th 2020 of small intestine failure, while a prisoner at HMP Manchester.

This was caused by surgical complications for the treatment of an inflammation of the lining of the abdominal wall. He also had prostate cancer and heart disease, which did not cause but contributed to his death.
