Courts urged to hold fire on jailing convicts

The Times reported Lord Justice Nicholas Green, who sits on the Court of Appeal and is the deputy senior presiding judge for England and Wales, issued a 'listing direction' to the managers of magistrates' courts across the two countries, advising offenders likely to be jailed should have sentencing postponed until the Government's early release scheme comes into effect on September 10.

About 2,000 prison places will be freed up under Labour's early release scheme.
