A "radical transformation" of prison regimes in England and Wales is needed to ensure inmates are prepared for life after release, says a new report.

A "disturbingly high" number of inmates are locked in cells in overcrowded jails instead of doing useful work, the report by a committee of MPs states.
The report, published on Friday, calls for prisoners to carry out real work on a nine-to-five basis.
