Labour to abolish most short prison sentences in England and Wales
>Ministers will legislate next month to abolish most short prison sentences and introduce a Texas-inspired system whereby inmates can earn early release as part of an attempt to avert another prison crisis.
Government sources said the legislation, which will bring about the biggest shake-up in sentencing laws in England and Wales for three decades, would be introduced once MPs had returned to the Commons in September.
>They said Shabana Mahmood, the justice secretary, was conscious of the need to implement the changes quickly before prisons had another capacity crunch next summer.
