A former female prisoner from Reading is calling for alternatives to jail for women who commit crime.
41-year-old Francesca Fattore, who spent three years and eight months in prison for drug offences, says there are better ways to help women reform and rebuild their lives.
According to figures from the Ministry of Justice, there are currently 3,179 women in prisons across England and Wales. That equates to under 5% of the prison population.
