<p>Criminals who enter an early guilty plea could having their sentences cut by up to half under a shake-up of sentencing, it has been reported.</p>
<p>Under proposals to be unveiled by Justice Secretary Kenneth Clarke next week, tens of thousands of offenders could also avoid prison and instead be handed beefed-up community penalties instead, according to the Daily Telegraph.</p>
<p>Private firms could also be brought in to run some community punishments which could see criminals repairing roads or cleaning railways.</p>
<p>The Justice Secretary will rule out scrapping short jail terms, however, while a Tory pledge to make judges set minimum and maximum sentences will not be included in the Green Paper, the newspaper reported.</p>
<p>A Ministry of Justice spokesman would not confirm any details of the Green Paper but said: &#8220;We need a more intelligent approach to sentencing that targets the root causes of crime and reoffending, so making our communities safer and better places to live.</p>
<p>&#8220;There is no question that we must protect the public from the most dangerous criminals in our society; however we must also ensure the courts have the power to make the right response to stop people committing crime.</p>
<p>&#8220;We are therefore in the process of conducting a full assessment of sentencing and rehabilitation policy to ensure it is effective in deterring crime, protecting the public, punishing offenders and cutting re-offending.</p>
<p>&#8220;We will consult on any proposals shortly.&#8221;</p>
