Daily Express – Outrage Over Order Not To Jail Rapists As Prisons Are Full 

The Daily Express says that fury has greeted a plan to “temporarily stop sending rapists and burglars to jail as prisons are full”. 

Lord Edis, senior presiding judge for England and Wales, is said to have ordered a delay to the sentencing of convicted criminals currently on bail from next week, the paper adds.

An anonymous senior Crown Court judge is quoted as saying they have been told it is a “short-term measure”, but that nobody seems certain what that means.
