Nick Hardwick was chief inspector of prisons from 2010 to 2016 and then head of the Parole Board until 2018 .

Hardwick said the current size of the incarcerated population was unsustainable.

Labour has suggested it will keep Conservatives ’ plan to expand the prison system by at least 14,000 places.

Ministry of Justice says it is committed to addressing the crisis in our prisons.

Ministry says it will set out a 10-year strategy for prison supply later this year .

It will also introduce a new focus on driving down reoffending, linking up prison governors with local employers to break the cycle of crime.
