It is understood that the government is developing plans that can see convicted criminals fill potholes and clean bins.
first Sunday’s Sun Report Attorney General Shabana Mahmood is said to want to expand the unpaid work, which she thinks is too lenient.
It is understood that she hopes the trial group will work with the Council so that local authorities can assign jobs to criminals.
Private companies can also hire those who are in community sentences.
The offender will not receive a salary, but the money earned will be paid to the victims’ group’s funds.
“As prisons are so close to collapse, we will have to punish more criminals outside the prison.
“We need punishment for more than just a soft option or a slap on the wrist. If we want to prove that the crime is not paid, we need to commit criminals for free – with the salary they could have paid back the salary they would have paid to the victims.”
They added that means the public “really want them to do it – not just scrub the graffiti, but also Filling potholes And clean the trash bins.”

An independent review of sentencing by former Conservative Attorney General David Gauke, expected to be published this week.
It was a commission after overcrowding, leading to the early release of thousands of prisoners.
It is understood that Gauke is considering recommending the idea of removing short-term prison terms as part of a sentencing review and is likely to recommend more community-based sentencing to reduce reliance on incarceration.
The review comes as prisons across the country are struggling to cope with overcrowding as the number of criminals in prison reaches new highs.
In an interim report, Goke warned that unless fundamental changes occur, prisons in England and Wales could run out of cells early next year.
Ms. Mahmood warned that he would “have to recommend bold, sometimes difficult measures”.
In her articles, she points to examples such as the Texas system, she said: “Criminals who follow prison rules get earlier releases, while those who are not locked up for longer.”
On Wednesday, she announced that she would release more than a thousand prisoners as early as possible to free up space in prisons in England and Wales and would use a £4.7 billion investment to fund more prisons.
Shadow Attorney General Robert Jenrick said the announcement “failed to protect the public” – adding: “It was the choice, and today she was chosen to release an early criminal who had refouled or violated the license.”
