government announced quick sentencing for those involved in the riots in UK - But the POA's, Prison Officers' Association, national chairman told BBC Radio 4's Broadcasting House programme this risked "clogging up prison cells" Mark Fairhurst said he would not be "surprised" if the Ministry of Justice at some point on Monday morning announced that "Operation Early Dawn kicks into play at some point next week".

Operation Early Dawn is a contingency that allows defendants waiting for a court appearance to be kept in police cells until prison space is available

Operation Early Dawn was previously triggered by the Conservative government in May in a bid to tackle overcrowding in jails.

395 people charged, at least 362 are men

More than 110 people have already been sentenced, with most sent to jail.
