Abstract
In 1997 a young remand prisoner was 'shackled' to his bed until shortly before his death. An outcry ensued. This paper discusses issues concerning care of terminally ill prisoners. In Cardiff, the Prison Service, local National Health Service trusts and the hospice have produced joint guidance on the escorting of ill prisoners and managing a bedwatch; these are outlined.
