Gareth Myatt, 15, died after being restrained by three staff at Rainsbrook Secure Training Centre, near Rugby, in 2004. The inquest verdict returned this week said his death was accidental, but had harsh words for the Youth Justice Board, the Home Office and Rebound ECD, the private company that runs Rainsbrook.
The jury said inadequate monitoring of the use of restraint at Rainsbrook and a failure to medically review the restraint used on Gareth - known as the "double-seated embrace" - had caused his death.
The verdict has prompted further outrage over government plans to extend secure training centre staff's powers to restrain young people for "non-compliant" behaviour.
A debate is now scheduled in the House of Lords on July 9 to decide on whether restraint powers can be extended.
Jack Straw, the new Justice Minister already has a fight on his hands.
