Today, we look at the release of more prisoners to help ease overcrowding in jails. The government is releasing 1,100 more prisoners early, in the second wave of emergency releases since September. It comes as the Justice Secretary announced a review of sentencing with a focus on new forms of punishment outside of jails, including a form of house arrest. Adam is joined by home and legal correspondent Dominic Casciani, and former director of public prosecutions Lord Ken Macdonald.

Also, Adam speaks to Marianna Spring about the final two weeks of the US Presidential election. And reveals how Newscast will be covering the election, including with the return of Remoter Voter.
