## Resource

Prison releases in England and Wales are triggering a deadly crisis: 77 people died within two weeks of leaving prison last year — the highest since records began. Homelessness is the driving force, with nearly 13,000 ex-inmates released without shelter, a 40% spike. Advocates call it a “hidden tragedy,” as many return to jail not for new crimes, but for lacking a fixed address — often because they can’t survive without housing. Without secure housing, rehabilitation fails, and prison becomes a “trap door” back into crime and crisis. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
