Inmates 'sleeping in toilet area' 
The government is promising to create another 10,500 prison places
Some inmates are living and sleeping in toilets because of jail overcrowding, a report says.
HM Inspectorate of Prisons found Doncaster jail's two-man cells had been turned into three-man cells by putting an extra bed in the toilet area.
The Home Office said the prison is addressing the issues raised.
Meanwhile, a separate report from the Commons justice committee says the government's sentencing policies are adding to overcrowding in prisons.
'Unacceptable'
Doncaster jail, run by the private firm Serco, holds almost 1,000 male prisoners - 200 more than it can accommodate in uncrowded conditions.
The Chief Inspector of Prisons for England and Wales, Anne Owers, said using the toilet area as accommodation was "unacceptable" and called for the practice to end.
