In a rare insight into the prisons crisis, a serving governor at one of the UK's crowded jails has spoken anonymously to Sky News about conditions inside, the reality of early release and why we should rethink who is put behind bars.
"There is a smell that you would always associate with prison. It's the smell of unwashed bodies," they told Sky News.
On this episode, Niall Paterson speaks to former prison governor Professor Ian Acheson, author of the book 'Screwed - Britain's Prison Crisis and How to Escape It', about the prison environment, and how systemic a problem it has become.
