Reported at www.theguardian.com: Prison guards at Silverwater jail in NSW switched off water to the cell of mentally ill inmate Simon Cartwright, who suffered from schizophrenia and a treatable peptic ulcer, leading to his preventable death.

Cartwright’s family is taking legal action against the NSW government after a coroner found systemic failures in his care and the callous treatment of his family.
