HMP Wandsworth: 'Conditions are unbearable' - volunteer
Conditions at the third most crowded prison in England and Wales are "unbearable", its former chaplain says.
Liz Bridge said HMP Wandsworth had been "allowed to fail" and basic standards of cleanliness were not being met, with rats and sewage in cells commonplace.
"If you want to drive somebody insane, you make them go dirty, don't change their clothes and don't feed them, but that's what we're doing," she said.
The Prison Service says it is improving safety and conditions at Wandsworth.
