A MAN died of a drug overdose five days after being released from a Welsh prison with nowhere to live.

According to an ombudsman report, “workload pressures” experienced by prison staff led to Mark Johnston leaving HMP Swansea with no accommodation lined up.

Mr Johnston, 49, was sentenced to 18 weeks in prison in December 2023 after being convicted of theft.

The jail was aware he had attempted suicide in the past and had struggled with addiction to alcohol, heroin and crack cocaine. Shortly before his release in April 2024 he tested negative for drugs.
