A female sex offender who was serving 15 years in a Derbyshire prison died at Royal Derby Hospital days after attempting to take her own life in her prison cell.
An inquest into the death of Nicola Anne Cope, 59, concluded that she had intended to take her own life prior to being found in the bathroom area of her cell at HMP Foston Hall in Derbyshire.
Miss Cope, more commonly known as Nikki, was born in Birmingham as a male, named Gordon Cope and, soon after her mother died, was taken into care after being the victim of abuse during her childhood.
The hearing, which last seven days, heard that Miss Cope had embarked on a number of criminal acts between the mid-1970s and 2015 when she was jailed for 15-years for sex offences against a child.
Fellow registrants, this article is a wakeup call to all of us to not isolate, which leads to a downward spiral of depression and despair. We are social creatures.We must form relationships with each other and support teach other. Take the risk.
Roger, Here, Here, I second that emotion. Inspiration or Hibernation are two different issues and we all have issues. Sure we can all go with frame ups in a lot of this registry angle but with much depression that goes along with something like this one should never give up.
Even my own ordeal is a whole different type of affair but who’s heart is evil in this mental breakdown of true justice gone a bit to far. Life is short but taking one’s life is a bit much and very callous. Guess only the strong survive. So unite and stand up for justice. So who’s data basing who’s mind or free basing with of this type of justice.
