Judges and magistrates are being asked in a letter by Home Secretary John Reid and legal chiefs to jail only the most dangerous and persistent criminals.
Mr Reid, the Attorney General and Lord Chancellor sent out the letter as the number of inmates in England and Wales hovered about the maximum 80,000 mark.
The government says 8,000 more prison places are being created.
It comes as the BBC learns Norwich jail is to reopen a wing declared "unfit" by inspectors because of cell shortages.

This is all bloody wrong, why should decent people live in fear because the government can't build enough prisons to take the prisoners? Stop givng the cheeky Grrrs playstations, make them work to earn the country money and who gives a dam if sumwere is unfit for a prisoner, they want to live sumwere that is comfortable, they should abide by the law like everyone ekse in the coiuntry!
