The suggested program of reforms that would affect this change involve: sentencing, bail, alcohol and drug misuse, mentally disturbed offenders, young offenders, prisons and the community, standards and regimes in prisons, prisoners' rights, women prisoners, British prisoner abroad, foreign prisoners in British prisons, private prisons, resettlement, race and criminal justice, and victims.
