The Labour Party has committed to a review of prison sentencing to modernize the system and address the growing challenges of overcrowded prisons in England and Wales.
David Gauke, appointed to lead the review, previously suggested that jail terms of less than six months should be scrapped, aiming for more effective alternatives to imprisonment.
The review will explore the role of community orders, which may include rehabilitation programs and community service, as a viable alternative to incarceration.
Government sources are investigating technological advancements, such as sobriety tags, to enhance monitoring of offenders within their communities, allowing for flexibility in sentencing.
