Criminals face new 'spartan prisons': Justice Secretary plans tough regime with uniforms, no Sky TV and less pocket money.
The move marks the biggest prison regime shake-up for 60 years and is designed to signal a tough new approach to law and order by Justice Secretary Chris Grayling.

The move will provoke fierce opposition from prison reformers, but Mr Grayling says that making prison life tougher is a vital part of his war on crime. Mail.
