Half of female prisoners are left homeless after their
release from prison, a report into the largest women's prison in Europe has

found 50 per cent of inmates left with no fixed residence. The report drew
attention to the impact the Offender Rehabilitation Act has had on the number
of recalls to prison. The law sees former inmates frequently taken back to
prison for minor infringements where they can spend several more weeks in
prison without achieving proper rehabilitation. Read more on the Independent
website.
