Crackdown on perks for young offenders He has ordered a review of the system of "incentives and and earned privileges" in Young Offenders" Institutes, Secure Training Centres and Secure Children's Homes, where 1,400 youths are currently housed. Mr Grayling said: "The youth custody system is failing. We need to instill discipline, education and the simple principle of good behaviour in these young people. It seems ludicrous to me that we dole out privileges regardless of how they behave. Quite simply we need to teach these young people right from wrong; luxuries must be a reward for good behaviour not an automatic right. The plans follow a similar move in adult prisons, announced earlier this year, which will see inmates losing automatic access to gym equipment and daytime television, while being expected to work a longer day. All convicted male prisoners will have to wear uniforms - often grey trousers, grey sweatshirt and grey jumper - for the first two weeks of their sentences, while 4,000 offenders in privately run jails will lose access to satellite subscription channels, such as Sky Sports. The move is likely to mean prison governors losing much of their discretion over the awarding of privileges and perks to reward good behaviour.
