While it was the board that had failed to fulfil their obligations, it was Faith who was penalized. In a June letter, prisons minister Andrew Selous accused her of failing to treat her colleagues „with respect“ and acting in a manner that could „discredit or cause embarrassment“ to the IMB, suspending her pending investigation as a result.

Faith published this correspondence on social media for the world to see – in response, the MoJ launched an official investigation into her conduct. Faith‘s own pleas for an investigation into the way she was treated were summarily dismissed. „They did their best to silence me and shut me up. I had a clear choice – I could accept what they said, step down, and everything would be swept under the carpet. I don‘t believe in that though. I decided to fight it to the end, no matter what it took, and how long it lasted.“
