ON my first day as Justice Secretary after the General Election on July 4, I was told about the true scale of the crisis in our jails.
The Tories had left our prisons on the edge of disaster. At any moment, they could have run out of space entirely.
Had that happened, we would have had to shut the front doors to our prisons.
Courts would have cancelled all trials.
The police would have stopped making arrests.
We would have seen the total breakdown of law and order.
I faced this situation because Rishi Sunak was too weak to act when he had the chance.
The Tories liked to talk tough on crime, but they left this country less safe.
In July, I had no choice. To deal with the crisis, we would have to release some offenders from custody a few weeks or months early.
They will now serve the rest of their sentences on licence, monitored by probation officers in the community.
As your Justice Secretary, I will ensure the scenes we witnessed, first in September and again today, can never happen again.
That’s why I am now setting out a long-term plan to end the crisis in our prisons.
I will make sure no government is ever again put in the position we have been forced in to.
That starts by building more jails.
The last Government talked a big game on prison building. But over their 14 years in power, they added just 500 places to our prison capacity.
This Labour Government will build the 14,000 new places the Tories promised but never delivered.
But we must also face the facts. Every year, our prison population grows by 4,500.
To keep pace with that growth, we would have to build HMP Birmingham, the prison in my constituency, nearly five times over, every single year.
The reality is the prison population is rising faster than our ability to lock people up.
There are only so many spaces we can build.
That’s why today I am launching a sentencing review to end the crisis in our prisons and to keep the public safe.
This review will make sure our prison system works — that there is always space in our jails for dangerous offenders and that prisons are not so full that they are simply a breeding ground for more crime.
Firstly, to keep people safe, we must lock up the most serious criminals.
Secondly, if we want to really cut crime, we must encourage offenders to turn their backs on crime.
We must look at what more can be done to make sure offenders leave prisons with the skills they need to find a job and not reoffend as soon as they are released.
In Texas, a Republican governor introduced “good behaviour credits”.
They mean prisoners can earn time off their sentence by taking part in rehabilitative activity in prison.
Reoffending dropped, crime fell to a 50-year low and the Texan prison population dropped by 20,000.
Thirdly, we must look at how we can toughen up punishment outside of prisons.
Everyone who breaks our rules must be punished. But some offenders, if they are not dangerous, can be better punished outside prison.
Sentences like these can help end the revolving door of offenders going in and out of prison, coming out more dangerous than they came in.
With the technology at our disposal, like GPS and sobriety tags, anyone punished outside of prison already faces limits on their freedom.
With all the new technology available in the world today, I think we can go much further.
The review starts its work today, led by David Gauke, a former Conservative Justice Secretary.
With a Conservative reviewer and a Labour Government, we will together look at an issue that is all too easy to play politics with.
I will consider its findings six months from now, but let me tell you where I stand.
I believe in prisons and that dangerous offenders must be locked up. But I also believe we can punish some offenders outside of prison too.
I believe in punishment — there must be a price for breaking our rules. But I also believe that rehabilitation is possible and must be pursued.
In Britain today, 80 per cent of offenders are re-offenders.
Rehabilitation is the only true crime-cutting policy.
And my promise to you is this — this Government will ensure the emergency release of offenders never happens again.
HUNDREDS of soldiers were secretly deployed to London over fears armed officers would walk out if Martyn Blake was convicted.
An emergency contingency plan was drafted as firearms officers in the Met’s MO19 Specialist Firearms Command threatened action.
More than 300 cops had handed in their weapons when Sgt Blake was charged last year.
Sources confirmed many Met gun police planned to hand in their blue tickets.
The Sun can reveal Royal Regiment of Scotland troops and military drivers from the Engineers and Royal Logistics Corp were put on stand-by.
A source said: “There’s a lot of anger among armed officers about how Sgt Blake was treated.”
Ex-Met PC Tony Long said: “It’s unfair to ask officers to carry firearms for public protection and treat them as criminals if they use them.”
The soldiers were due to go on armed patrols in Land Rovers and white vans as they are not trained for police vehicles.
The Home Office asked for help from the Army at the request of the Met Police.
A source said the so-called “presence patrols” were designed to reassure the public.
The emergency plan was codenamed Operation Temperer.
JIMMY WHITE’S snooker comeback was overshadowed by a controversial call from the referee.
The sporting icon, 62, returned to action in Belfast – a whopping 43 years after winning an invitational event in the city way back in 1981.
"Never seen that before"

The referee '100% sure' on controversial Vafaei foul because the white ball was out of the Dpic.twitter.com/ImBmVsut3C
But his 4-2 victory over Hossein Vafaei at the Northern Ireland Open had a huge moment of drama in what turned out to be the final frame.
Vafaei led 65-57 in the sixth frame and had the cue ball in hand.
However, when he played his shot and potted a red, the referee called “foul” then added: “Jimmy White, four.”
Kevin Dabrowski then told Vafaei that he had placed the white ball narrowly outside the D – with the line of the D needing to cover half the ball to be valid.
The Iranian looked totally bamboozled as commentator Neal Foulds declared: “I’ve never seen that before.”
Foulds added: “I can’t tell. I can’t tell. I’m not going to say either way.
“I don’t think it’s very obvious one way or another.”
Dabrowski explained: “It wasn’t in the D, it was outside of the D, I’m absolutely certain Hossein.”

Vafaei wanted to see a replay of the incident while the referee told White what was happening.
Dabrowski added: “In my opinion, it wasn’t in the D. I’m 100 per cent certain.”
“Would you like to take a look? It’s very obvious. You can see. It’s outside the D.”
He then announced a free ball but play was halted as the referee and the two players peered into a table-side camera to look back at the freeze frame.
Even White was initially unconvinced while Vafaei claimed the ball was on the yellow spot.
But Dabrowski refuted the claim and reiterated he was “100 per cent sure”.
White then continued the frame with a free shot and potted the brown before running away to bring up an unassailable lead and secure victory.
Dave Hendon concluded on commentary: “The referee’s decision is final. He was there.
“We’re looking at it on an overhead so I’m not going to say he was wrong. It would be unfair to do that and he gave it in good faith.”
Fans chipped in with their views on the contentious moment – although Eurosport put a replay out on social media with the crucial part cropped out.
One commented: “One of the most outrageous decisions I’ve ever seen made in snooker.”
Another wrote: “Looks very debatable but the ref did have a great view, I tell you something it’s quite refreshing to see a referee have the b***s to make a big call like that, don’t normally see it.”
A third typed: “Poor decision, respect to. Vafaei for not kicking off and remaining calm.”
A fourth responded: “Looks a great call to be fair.”
A fifth said: “Very poor moment for the sport.”
And a final user replied: “100 per cent out of the D and makes contact with the cue ball outside of the D. Correct and well-spotted decision by the ref.”
Speaking following his momentous win, White admitted it was a “nightmare” situation.
The six-time World Championship runner-up said: “When we looked at it on the camera it was close, but I remember that happened to me in The Masters once.
“Then you’ve got a few people in the crowd who got a bit excited, but he did well. But yeah, there it looks slightly out.
“He was adamant, the referee. He had a bit of a nightmare today with the match, didn’t he?”
Elsewhere in the chaotic contest, Dabrowski had to retrieve White’s chalk and permitted the veteran to go for a mid-frame toilet break.
And Vafaei even scored one of the rare fluke shots in the opening frame as the ball rolled along the top of the cushion before dropping into the pocket.
THE aim of snooker is to clear the table of all balls - and achieving it in an incredible 147 break is the ultimate goal.
The rectangular table features green baize, a baulk line and semi-circle, known as the D.
It has six pockets, four in each corner and two midway down both long sides.
There are 15 red balls which are arranged in a triangular shape.
There are also six colour balls, and the white cue ball.
Each colour sits on its own designated spot at the start of the game.
While red balls are worth one point when potted, the colours all have a different value.
In ascending order these are:
The first player will cue off and must hit at least one of the red balls in the triangle.
If they pot a red, they can then continue by potting a colour.
However, if no red is potted then their opponent will play the next shot – going for a red first.
Each player must first pot a red ball when it’s their turn to play. If nothing is pocketed it is the other player’s turn at the table.
After each red is potted they must then follow with a colour, then a red, then a colour, and so on.
Whilst there are still red balls on the table, the potted colour balls are returned to their designated spot.
Once all the red balls are pocketed, the player at the table must pot the colours in the order as outlined above.
If they miss then their opponent will have the opportunity to clear the table.
A 147 is a maximum break when all reds are potted by one player in one stint at the table.
In order to achieve 147, the player must pot all 15 reds with 15 blacks for 120 points.
They must then clear all the colours, concluding with the black for 27 points.
During play the rules state that the cue must only touch the white cue ball.
The cue ball also must hit the correct colour ball – reds or colours in order.
If it hits the incorrect colour then a foul is called.
If the cue ball fails to hit any ball or is pocketed it is also a foul.
The player’s turn at the table ends if they play a foul shot.
Players are also penalised if they touch any ball on the table with their person.
