Prisoners are to be given phones and computers in a bid to reduce their stress in a pilot scheme. Cells in 10 jails across England and Wales have been fitted out with the equipment - with plans to roll out the initiative across all 103 public sector facilities. Inmates can choose meals and book doctor's appointments using terminals installed by their beds or on communal landings. It means that over-stretched jail staff are freed up from performing basic administrative tasks - but unions fear it could mean job cuts and reduce contact between prisoners and officers. At other prisons in the pilot scheme, inmates can use phones in their cells to contact pre-approved numbers. Campaigners claim that the initiative could help to lower re-offending and self-harm rates.
