Now violent DVDs banned in prison perks crackdown

Justice secretary Chris Grayling has banned prisoners from watching 18-rated DVDs as part of his plan to turn jails into ‘no-frills’ institutions.
Violent and sexually explicit movies will be removed from prison libraries and inmates will no longer be able to receive them from visitors. Any such material found in cells will in future be confiscated.
Computer and video games for over-18s were banned in prisons several months ago and now the Government has widened the net.
Chris Grayling says he wants prisons to be 'spartan' places which people do not want to return to

It comes after Mr Grayling, who took up his current post last September, told The Mail on Sunday that he wanted prisons to be ‘spartan but humane’ places to which people had ‘no particular desire’ to return.

In an interview two months ago, he announced plans for a ban on Sky TV, a reduction in the number of televisions in jails and less  pocket money for inmates.
Mr Grayling said he did not approve of prisons buying state-of-the-art entertainment systems which were out of the price range of many law-abiding people.

Prison governors were informed of the latest restriction in a message from Nigel Mulcaster,  a senior civil servant at the National Offender Management Service (NOMS), which is run  by the Ministry of Justice.
Mr Mulcaster referred to the ‘often violent and sexual nature’ of 18-certificate films and added: ‘Prisoners will no longer be able to possess or view 18-rated DVDs within any prison.’
But the move has already been criticised by some inmates.
One man behind bars at Stafford Prison told prisoners’ newspaper Insidetime: ‘Where is the logic in stopping a prisoner from buying an 18-rated DVD when he can watch 18-rated films and programmes every night on his television?’
But Mr Grayling insisted last night that his review of privileges would continue.
‘I want to ensure the public can be confident in a justice system that properly punishes as well as reforms,’ he said.
