Do prisoners get a cushy ride in British jails?
PLANS to stop prisoners receiving automatic perks including access to gym equipment and games consoles were welcomed yesterday.
Justice Secretary Chris Grayling is finalising a series of measures to toughen up jails amid concerns that life inside has become too soft.
He has also vowed to put an end to “holiday camp” prisons, with a ban on Sky TV, fewer television sets and less pocket money for inmates.
Mr Grayling believes prisoners do not deserve the kind of lifestyle that is beyond the reach of many families on low wages.
Under Mr Grayling’s plans, seen as the biggest shake-up of Britain’s prisons for 60 years, it will become harder for inmates to earn perks.
