Prisoner’s rights include, the right to food and water, protection from bullying and harassment, being able to contact their solicitor and have the relevant health care. If they break any rules or commit an offence while in prison they will be reprimanded and punished accordingly. Most prisoners share a small room, called a cell, with one other person. They can take in a few of their own belongings, like pictures and radios. However all the furniture is supplied by the prison and you don't get to decorate your cell.

Some time after sentencing, adult male prisoners are assigned to the correct security category and allocated to an appropriate prison. Categorisation is based on the level of risk a prisoner might pose to the public or national security should they escape and the likelihood of their making attempts to do so. What are the categories? There are four different security categories: Category A – Category A prisoners are those that would pose the most threat to the public, the police or national security should they escape. Security conditions in category A prisons are designed to make escape impossible for these prisoners. Un-sentenced prisoners, or prisoners on remand awaiting trial, are generally housed in category B accommodation unless they have been provisionally classified as category A. How are female prisoners and young offenders categorised? Unless they have been deemed category A then female prisoners and young offenders are not categorised.
