<p>Following feedback from prison Governors, we have made some minor adjustments to
the property prisoners are allowed to have under the revised Incentives and Earned
Privileges (IEP) framework, including metal guitar strings. Governors were notified
on 15 July 2014 that, with immediate effect, it was open to them to include full metal
guitar strings on their local facilities lists. This allows eligible prisoners to
purchase them for use on acoustic guitars kept in-cell.</p><p> </p><p>Full metal strings
are, as with the nylon and metal coiled strings which were already permitted, available
by application only, issued on a one-for-one basis, and subject to local risk assessment.
As with the nylon and metal coiled strings, Governors can make them available to prisoners
on the Standard and Enhanced levels of the IEP framework.</p><p> </p>
