The conditions at HMP Wandsworth have been described as 'squalid, dirty and cramped,' with violence rising and staff unable to confirm inmates' whereabouts.
Staffing levels at the prison were reported to be just 50% of what they should be, contributing to a dangerous environment where basic healthcare access was compromised.
The prison was initially designed for fewer than 1,000 prisoners but now houses 1,513, reflecting a critical overcrowding issue that has led to deteriorating conditions.
