Lord Timpson says tagging more people instead of sending them to prison is a potential alternative punishment.
More than 30 companies, including Microsoft and Google , will meet the government today .
He says he is passionate about rehabilitating offenders in prison so they don't commit further crimes when released.
But 26% of adult criminals in England and Wales go on to reoffend within a year .
Serco has been contracted by the government to manage tagging since October 2023 .
"We inherited a contract with Serco and it's been far from perfect," says Lord Timpson .
Serco CEO Anthony Kirby says he is proud of the role he has in monitoring people in the community.
