Police Confirm Inmate Death at HMP Fosse Way as Fellow Prisoner Is Charged

Belfield’s video disclosure now faces probation scrutiny over potential licence breaches.

Overview

  • Leicestershire Police identified the deceased as Dennis Green, 42, who was taken to hospital after a 4.45pm assault on 6 August and has since died.
  • Damien Ward, 36, of HMP Fosse Way, has been charged with causing grievous bodily harm with intent and has been remanded into custody.
  • Former inmate and broadcaster Alex Belfield publicized the death, saying a whistleblower shared an internal email from the prison director with him.
  • Belfield said in an August 31 video that he expects to be recalled to prison or banned under his licence conditions following his post about the case.
  • The Probation Service said offenders on licence face strict conditions with immediate recall for breaches, and Nottinghamshire Live previously reported his planned tour was halted over similar concerns.
