Most women freed from Bronzefield Prison lack safe accommodation – report

PA Wire

Nearly two-thirds of women released from Europe’s largest female prison do not have safe and long-term accommodation to go to, “undoing the good work” of jail, an inspection report has found.

Data from HMP Bronzefield in Surrey showed that about 65% of inmates did not have “sustainable” accommodation – defined as that which could reasonably be predicted to be available for 12 weeks or more – on release from their custodial sentence.
