Video: Clampdown on prison perks aims to 'change prisoner expectations' In a move designed to end the perception that prisoners" conditions are too comfortable, Chris Grayling will order that all criminals will have to earn perks and privileges, rather than them only being removed from inmates who behave poorly. Unless they can demonstrate they are determined to reform their behaviour, they will also only be granted "restricted" access to cash and only be allowed short visits to the gym. What we want to make clear to prisoners is that we want them to engage with rehabilitation. We expect prisoners to be out of their cells, engaged in work, we expect them to be engaged in education," Jeremy Wright MP, the Minister for Prisons and Rehabilitation said. "We have to change prisoners expectations about what they have to do to go up the scale," he added.
