Sixth of prison leavers released into homelessness
One in six London prison leavers is released into homelessness amid a severe Probation Service workload crisis, according to social justice group Nacro.

While the UK government pledges to halve leaver homelessness by 2029, staff warn incoming early releases will worsen conditions.
