Inspectors found HMP Nottingham was under 'considerable pressure' due to the early release scheme.
Inspectors said the number of inmates who were homeless when they were released early was "astonishing"
Mr Taylor said while it was "uncertain how many had been recalled", the number of inmates who were homeless when they were released early was "astonishing". "Overall, Nottingham is a jail that is coping with the many challenges that it faces, but it remains a fragile institution that carries a lot of risk within its constantly churning population."
However, Lord Chancellor Shabana Mahmood announced in July that she would replace the scheme, instead temporarily reducing the proportion of certain custodial sentences. According to the findings, the early release scheme was "putting considerable pressure" on prison bosses and the "understaffed offender management unit".
