    There's particular concern about Mosborough and Beighton in Sheffield being moved into a Rotherham seat and about Penistone and Stocksbridge constituency being scrapped and parts of it being put into a West Yorkshire constituency.

    It goes against the national trend, where a number of prisons saw rioting in 2016.

    The report found there's a gang culture within some elements of the Muslim faith group and that prisoners owing money could be pressured into converting to Islam to avoid debt.
