Six inmates have died at HMP Parc in Bridgend, Wales, within a span of just over three weeks, sparking widespread concern and prompting an investigation. The deaths have been linked by the Ombudsman to the use of 'zombie drug', specifically Spice mixed with another family of drugs, according to reports. The situation has become so dire that inmates have been advised to dispose of any drugs in their possession. The prison, which has been previously hit by scandal, including a case where a nurse had a relationship with a gangster, is now under scrutiny for its handling of the crisis.
