31 Lives Lost Since 2022: Protest Outside HMP Parc Bridgend 25/01/2025
Protest Outside HMP Parc Prison Demands Justice!
This Saturday, 25th January 2025, at 9 AM, a peaceful protest will take place outside HMP Parc Bridgend Prison, where 31 lives have tragically been lost since 2022. Organised by the HMP Prisons’ Justice Group and led by activist Zack Griffiths, the campaign, known as Operation Zero, seeks to expose the systemic failures that have devastated families and demand accountability for these preventable deaths.
A Shocking Pattern of Neglect
Behind the walls of HMP Parc Prison, run by private company G4S, 31 inmates have died in just three years. For the families of those lost, these are not just statistics — they are fathers, brothers, sons, and loved ones, gone too soon. Many are left with unanswered questions, battling grief while demanding justice.
“It’s unimaginable,” says a spokesperson for the group. “These deaths were preventable. The system has failed, and the silence is deafening. We won’t stop until justice is served.”
The protest’s rallying cry, #AChangeForYouIsAChangeForUs, reflects the group’s broader mission: to highlight the dire need for reform in the UK prison system and prevent further loss of life.
The Fight Against G4S
Campaigners accuse G4S of gross negligence, citing inadequate care, lack of oversight, and systemic mismanagement as key contributors to the tragic loss of life. Families and activists are calling for the removal of G4S from managing HMP Parc and demanding transparency into the circumstances surrounding these deaths.
“The prison system is broken, and G4S is profiting from it,” says Zack Griffiths, leader of the HMP Prisons’ Justice Group. “These are human lives we’re talking about — lives that should have been protected.”
