Most of those being released on Tuesday will come from open prisons.

The scheme began in September and is expected to create 5,500 extra prison places.

People convicted of murder, sex crimes or terrorism will not be eligible for early release.

Former Justice Secretary David Gauke will lead a major review of prison sentencing.
