Nearly a quarter of all prisoners in the UK should be released on parole to ease overcrowding, a judge has said.

Judge Compston of the Thames Valley circuit told a research group that the radical plan was the only way to enable overcrowded jails to work properly.
He also called for discipline in schools to be "robustly reinforced".
