South Yorkshire prisoners are being allowed to call the Samaritans from their cells amid concerns over a rising number of self-harm incidents, according to a report.
Image source, PA MediaThe number of recorded incidents of self-harm at HMP Moorland, Doncaster has risen from 451 in 2016-17 to 543 in 2017-18 and 755 in 2018-19, its independent monitoring board said.
The number of attacks on staff has also gone up.
Prisoners can phone the Samaritans helpline from their cell but calls are cut off after 15 minutes and the line is not available after 23:00.
Mental health staff now cover the prison seven days a week, the report added.
The man who hoaxed detectives by claiming to be the Yorkshire Ripper has died, police have confirmed.
John Humble, who was dubbed Wearside Jack, sent police on a wild goose chase when he sent them hoax letters and an audio tape in the late 1970s.
West Yorkshire Police detectives, headed by the force's assistant chief constable George Oldfield, believed the letters and tape were genuine and diverted resources to Humble's home town of Sunderland.
When Humble was eventually prosecuted, Leeds Crown Court heard claims that delays caused by the hoax allowed Peter Sutcliffe to murder three more women.
Northumbria Police said Humble, who had changed his name to John Samuel Anderson, died on 30 July.
Humble, 63, died at his home in South Shields, where he had lived since being released from prison in 2009. His death is not being treated as suspicious.
Sutcliffe was jailed in 1981 and given 20 life sentences for killing 13 women and attempting to kill seven more.

Owners Frank and Veronica Tett, who run Andrew's Hedgehog Hospital, near Scunthorpe, say they are "beside themselves".
Quote MessageAt this stage we think time is running out for Stephen unless he has been released from the carrier. If the thief or anyone who knows him is reading this, will you at least tell us where and what you did with our hedgehog. He didn't deserve to be treated in this way and we hope you can live with yourself after what you have done."

First half profits at York-based house builder Persimmon have dipped by 1.4% to £509.3m.
Image source, ReutersDave Jenkinson - who took over as chief executive when Jeff Fairburn was forced out in a row over his £75m pay award - said there was now more of a focus on customer service after criticism of its homes.
"First, customer service spend increased by [about] 40% year on year and these additional initiatives are anticipated to increase our annual customer care costs by an estimated £15m.
"Second, and as noted earlier in the year, our decision to invest an additional £140m in work in progress as we held back some sites for later sales release to give customers more accurate moving-in dates reduced the group's overall sales volumes," he said.
Some 7,584 new homes were sold, compared with 8,072 a year earlier.

Read MoreA lightning strike followed by "almost simultaneous unexpected power losses" at two energy plants, including one in East Yorkshire, caused country-wide blackouts earlier this month, an interim report has found.
Image source, PA MediaThe failure at Hornsea off-shore wind farm and Little Barford gas power station in Bedfordshire occurred independently, the report from National Grid Electricity System Operator said.
The power cut was so severe that back-up power wasn't enough to get systems back on.
As a result, the system automatically disconnected customers on the distribution network with about 5% of electricity demand being turned off to protect the other 95%.
Much of York was affected by the power cut and passengers were trapped on trains on the East Coast Mainline in Yorkshire.
