Shabana Mahmood will announce major review of sentencing to find new ways to punish offenders.

Judges could be able to sentence offenders to house arrest instead of jail.

Virtual prisons could be created using technology like tagging to keep offenders under arrest in their homes.

Ms Mahmood said she believes in prison but said the Government “must increase the range of punishments we use”.

Mark Day , deputy director of the Prison Reform Trust , said the sentencing review is "a vital opportunity to reset the dial on decades of failure in penal policymaking". Law Society of England and Wales president Richard Atkinson added: “It is high time for an examination of alternatives to the use of custody, which is an expensive and often counterproductive form of punishment.".
