Its main recommendations are: an additional 10,500 new prison places by 2014 (costing £1.2 bn); the construction of three "supersize" Titan jails (each holding 2,500 prisoners); restricting indeterminate prison sentences and allowing the release of non-violent prisoners after they have served half their sentence; establishing a sentencing commission.
