A storm is brewing above Bolton. A grey blanket of clouds hangs low over the town centre, icy winds whistling through the trees.
This is because women generally tend to spend time in prison for smaller crimes, meaning less time available to carry out a full assessment of their housing needs. Nearly six out of ten women leaving prison have nowhere safe to go, a report from the Prison Reform Trust found. The charity has described the current situation as “bleak”, with many being released with just £76, a plastic bag, nowhere to live and threat of recall if they miss their probation appointment.
There are many reasons why women prisoners are released into homelessness, including short prison sentences that result in women losing their accommodation.
