The United Families and Friends Campaign (UFFC), is a coalition of those affected by deaths in police, prison and psychiatric custody. Established in 1997 as a network of Black families, UFFC has expanded to include people from varied ethnic and cultural backgrounds affected by these injustices.

UFFC DEMANDS THAT:


Prison deaths be subject to a system of properly funded investigation that is completely independent of the prison service.

Officers involved in custody deaths be suspended until investigations are completed.

Prosecutions should automatically allow unlawful killing verdicts.

Police forces be made accountable to the communities they serve.

Legal aid and full disclosure of information is available to the relatives of victims.

Officers responsible for deaths should face criminal charges, even if retired.
