Inmates will no longer automatically receive perks such as television sets and the freedom to wear their own clothes, Justice secretary Chris Grayling will announce.
Violent and sexually explicit 18-rated movies will also be banned from jails in England and Wales under changes to the Incentives and Earned Privileges (IEP) scheme.
The current scheme allows inmates to get privileges - such as a television set in their cell - simply by keeping out of trouble.
But the government wants inmates to take part in work and education programmes to earn the perks instead.
