A prisoner has been charged with murder after another inmate was found dead in his cell. West Mercia Police said a man in his 40s was discovered dead in his cell at around 7.40am on Tuesday at HMP Stoke Heath. Jonathan Alcide, 26, also an inmate at the category C men's prison near Market Drayton, Shropshire, has been charged in connection with the death and is currently in police custody. He is due to appear before Telford Magistrates' Court on Thursday. HMP Stoke Heath houses nearly 800 male prisoners. Most prisoners in England and Wales are housed in category C prisons. They are described as training and resettlement prisons, and are intended to provide prisoners with the opportunity to develop their skills so they can find work and resettle back into the community on release. In the 12 months leading up to March 2025, there were 399 deaths in prison custody in England and Wales. This represents a 37% increase on the 291 deaths in the previous 12 months.
