The prison and probation (PPO) branch in Derbyshire has been handling the case of a newborn baby, Bree Carmichael, who was tragically killed inside HMP Foston Hall on October 16, 2023, with the baby just one day old. The inquest into baby Carmichael’s cause of death has been pursued, and a detailed final report is expected shortly. Currently, an ongoing investigation into the cause of baby Carmichael’s death was confirmed to the PPO by the PPO’s Independent Investigations Annual Report, as reported by the Prison and Probations Ombudsman (Adrian Usher).
The Ombudsman specifically highlighted that the baby was not given a name, which is a keyודי detail, as its identity is uncertain. This lack of disclosure has led to public concern, as it affects the transparency of the case into the public domain. However, the investigation is ongoing, with the establishment of a body to report on baby Carmichael’s identity and the impact of the death on the prison community.
Only 292 deaths occurred in the PPO in 2023 and 2024, marking a significant decline compared to the number of deaths expected after the death of three individuals in the last five years—/",

The PPO reports reveal that only three babies from the PPO have been killed in the English prison system since the death of baby Carmichael in 2023. This is a concerning trend given the low number of annual deaths. Bree Carmichael’s mother, Rianna Place, suffered intense pain and continuously pressed her "cell bell" before anyone would assist; her baby, Lau, entered the maternal room to give birth, unaware of her pregnancy.

The baby originated pounds and pounds in pounds of garbage after biting through the umbilical cord to separate it from the mother, a incident hurried by the inquest to leave Bree Carmichael’s birth.Anita Sassese, a prison news anchor, noted, “This is one of the highest-level incidents in human history.” These incidents have not been disclosed, knowing of their severity, to at least one of the people involvedavailable via independent investigations_.
The PPO and ASN will conduct a final investigation shortly, resulting in a final report expected to include details into the baby’s identity, the immediate circumstances of her death, and the subsequent circumstances. Only three federal prison system deaths in the last five years have been reported following HMP Bronzefield’s Haroldamation in September 2019 and HMP Styal in 2020available via independent investigations_. However, the Ombudsman’s investigation into baby Carmichael’s death serves as a stark reminder of the need for transparency and accountability in prison life.
