How long before that bloke takes the officer to court for infringing his human right to commit suicide!
A young prisoner who tried to commit suicide has won £575,000 in public money as compensation – after warders saved his life.

One prisoner received £2.8 million compensation after a failed suicide attempt, which is equal to the previous prison service record payout in 2002.
The payment was made in an out-of-court settlement to a prisoner who self-harmed and claimed for miscellaneous injury against the Prison Service.
