Texas-style prison reforms that would allow inmates in England and Wales to reduce their sentences by earning points through participation in courses are being considered by ministers, it has been reported.
Labour is drawing up plans to replicate the model used in the US state where prisoners can cut their jail time by taking part in classes aimed at tackling the root causes of offending such as drug use, according to the Times. The courses will include education and vocational workshops, and drug or behavioural rehabilitation sessions.
