18-year-old who killed herself in prison should not have been there, say campaigners

Mother of Annelise Sanderson says daughter, who had mental health issues, was ‘just another number’ to authorities

An 18-year-old with mental health issues who took her own life in prison should never have been sent there in the first place, campaigners have said.

The mother of Annelise Sanderson said she believed her death could have been prevented and her daughter was “just another number” to authorities.
