The Prison Governors Association (PGA) has called on the government to set up an independent public inquiry into the state of prisons in England and Wales.
The call follows previously voiced concerns about an ‘unprecedented’ rise in violence and suicides in prisons.
The Association, which represents 1,021 governors across the UK, said that in the 12 months to June there were 105 suicides - almost double the number five years ago. It also cited that there had been a 146 per cent increase in the number of serious assaults on staff.
The PGA said: "Unless we understand what has contributed to the creation of this brutal environment that staff and prisoners are working and living in it is likely to continue. The PGA believes an independent public inquiry is the only way we will get to the truth."
A spokesperson for the Ministry of Justice said: “We are fully committed to addressing the significant increase in violence, self-harm and self-inflicted deaths in our prisons.
