Holding the key, Episode #4 ~ Charlie Taylor on the overcrowding crisis
The Anglican Bishop for HM Prisons, the Right Revd Rachel Treweek, in conversation with Charlie Taylor, HM Chief Inspector of Prisons.
In this fourth podcast in the series of 'Holding the Key: Unlocking the door to doing prison differently', Bishop Rachel and Charlie Taylor talk about the current overcrowding crisis in prisons. Charlie tells us, "We have more prisoners than we have capacity for. In many prisons we have enormous levels of overcrowding. Like Leeds, where something like 80% of prisoners are living in overcrowded accommodation. And what that means in reality; you've got two men sharing a single cell designed by the Victorians 150 years ago, to house one man, in conditions that are often squalid and enormously challenging."
