On 10th December 2022 A small group of staff from HMP Liverpool had thier Christmas night out. Devastatingly one member of staff never went home.

Officer Joseph Perry suffered a tragic accident after falling on some steps. This caused a chatasropic injury and after spending a short period in ICU he passed away on the evening of the 12th of December surrounded by the love of his wife and two teenage daughters.

Joe was extremely proud of his family and girls and also proud of the job he done. Joe was an excellent officer who could always be relied upon to do the right thing an will be sorely missed by his devastated colleagues

Joe was a massive everton fan traveling home and away with his mates.

Joe's last act of amazing kindness was to donate his organs so others could have the gift of life and live on.

We would like any funds raised to go to his family to help them out now and in the future and use how they see fitting. I only hope we can all be as generous as Joe was and help his young family out at this time

God bless you Joe coyb
