Prisons across the UK are struggling to cope with increasing numbers.
Short term emergency release has given some institutions breathing room, but for many, it barely scratches the surface.
Glenochil prison in Scotland houses a high number of sex offenders and those serving life sentences, meaning many are growing old within their walls.
It’s putting extreme pressure on an already overstretched system.
ITV News was given exclusive access to Glenochil jail in Alloa where 10% of the population is over 60 and many require support from agency staff.
