A woman who gave birth to a stillborn baby in the toilet of a prison cell has said she "will never forgive" the jail for the "horror" she experienced.

Louise Powell, 31, who did not know she was pregnant, said she begged for an ambulance before her baby died at HMP Styal in Cheshire in 2020.

She told Newsnight she was left alone when she was "crying for help".

The Prisons and Probations Ombudsman found there were "missed opportunities" to identify her urgent clinical needs.

Its report said prison staff and nurses should be given early labour training.

The government said it had made improvements and was looking at how "we can better screen for pregnancy in jails so no woman falls through the cracks."
