evidence: The early releases come as the chief inspector of prisons, Charlie Taylor, predicted that some former inmates will become homeless, which could increase their chances of reoffending. [...] He said: "It’s inevitable that some of these prisoners will get recalled to custody and it’s inevitable that some of them will go out homeless. If people are coming out, they’re not properly prepared, and they’re homeless, then what we’ll see is the danger that they’ll commit more offences, or that they breach their bail conditions, in which case they’ll end up back inside again." [...] He said: "Prisoners are locked in their cells for long periods of time, relationships with prison officers are often transactional, and most importantly of all they’re not getting involved in the sort of purposeful activity, the education, the work, the training, that is going to make them less likely to reoffend when they come out."
