Exclusive: Domestic abuse victims forced to live in dark bug infested 'prisons'

A Sky News investigation has found that domestic abuse victims are being forced to live in appalling conditions after fleeing violent relationships, some without a working kitchen or toilet.
 
Our investigation has documented the state of social accommodation given to tens of thousands of survivors across the UK.

And we've collected evidence showing that some local authorities are breaking the law and not meeting the needs of some of the country's most vulnerable.

Andy Hughes has this exclusive report.
