Mother of prison overdose girl found dead near her daughter's grave

Sarah Campbell's black granite gravestone bears the poignant postscript: "Her mother left broken hearted".

But yesterday there was no more pain for Pauline Campbell, who never got over the death of the wayward teenage daughter who killed herself in prison.

Five years after she buried her little girl, Miss Campbell's body has been found lying near Sarah's grave.

The retired college lecturer had become a passionate campaigner for better conditions in women's jails after Sarah died from an overdose of anti-depressants in Styal Prison in Cheshire in 2003.

Miss Campbell, 60, had blamed the prison system for not recognising her daughter's vulnerable state and spent years campaigning against "inhumane" conditions in women's jails. She was arrested more than a dozen times for demonstrating outside prisons.
