Prisons are in a profound state of crisis the prison population of England and Wales has doubled over the last 30 years .

The Prison Governors’ Association warned two weeks ago that prisons were just days away from running out of cells.

One proposal put forward to the government to ease the pressure was to release enough female prisoners to free up an entire prison.

There are around 40 of these one -stop-shops’ across England and Wales , offering access to specialist advocacy, support on housing, debt, addiction, mental health, employment and education, domestic abuse, and parenting.

The charity Women in Prison published a report about the value of women’s centres.
