Prisoners who should be in cells on their own are sharing accommodation, according to an ex-inmate at Nottingham Prison.
Image source, PAThe accusations have been made anonymously to BBC Radio Nottingham after a month in which five people have died at the jail.
The former inmate said: "There are a lot of dangerous prisoners that are meant to be in a cell on their own because they are a high risk prisoner.
"But they are being made to share cells with other people and this can heighten the risk, it is not supposed to be like that."
The Ministry of Justice said there is no intelligence to support the allegations and it is working to improve support for vulnerable prisoners and increase staffing levels.

Leicester Tigers head coach Matt O'Connor has admitted his side are in a "good place" after victory against Newcastle extending their winning run in the league to five games.
Image source, Getty ImagesTelusa Veainu and Ben Youngs scored tries inside the first 20 minutes as the Tigers established a 14-3 lead.
Vereniki Goneva crossed for the Falcons just before the break and a Toby Flood penalty early in the second half reduced the deficit to a single point.
But three George Ford penalties and a try by Jonny May (pictured) helped Leicester pull away and move up to third in the table.
Image source, PA"We had our opportunities to score more tries," O'Connor said.
"We probably left a bonus point out there but you can't complain after three [successive] wins on the road and we're in a good place right now."

Concerns have been raised about the prospect of another takeaway restaurant opening in Alvaston.
If plans for a new Domino's Pizza on Shardlow Road are approved it would be the 19th takeaway in the suburb.
Councillor Alan Graves said: "I feel there is a saturation of hot food and I think any more, impacts negatively on the viability of the centre.
"If you have too many hot food shops, they tend to be open in the evening rather than the day - so in the day it looks like a ghost town."
Image source, Getty ImagesDerby City Council said a number of factors would be considered before a decision is taken on whether to grant the application next month, including the character of the area and the impact on other businesses.
