Pauline Campbell

Bristol ABC wishes to send it's deepest sympathies to those who knew and worked with Pauline Campbell. Pauline has been a tireless campaigner against deaths of women in custody since the tragic death of her daughter Sarah in 2003. She was awarded the Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize in October 2005. The prize is awarded each year to a woman or group who has, through their actions, writing or campaigning; raised awareness of violence against women and children. Pauline visited Bristol in September 2007 to talk at the Kebele about her daughter's death, the state's admission that they had failed her and her ongoing struggle. Tragically Pauline was found dead on the grave of her daughter, whos death in custody motivated her struggle for justice.
