David Cameron and Nick Herbert have launched our Green Paper on prison reform.
With Britain's prisons suffering from overcrowding, David promised to build 5,000 additional prison places, taking capacity to over 100,000.
Amongst the other suggestions in 'Prisons with a purpose' are:- Minimum and maximum sentence periods, with no parole until the minimum term has been served.
An end to automatic release for all determinate sentences
The decentralisation of public sector prisons- Offenders to compensate their victims through a Victims' Fund David stressed we need "a new principle of honesty in sentencing, a new generation of prisons and a new model of prison management."
