the tools they need to manage violent offenders – investing £2million in body-worn
cameras which will act as a visible deterrent against violence and assist with prosecutions,
as well as introducing new style handcuffs and piloting PAVA incapacitant spray. Violence
against our dedicated staff will never be tolerated which is why we are supporting
legislation to increase sentences for those who attack emergency workers, including
prison officers.</p><p> </p><p>In addition, more officers on the wings will improve
the safety of our prisons. That is why we are investing £100 million to boost the
front line. We have already recruited 1,290 extra prison officers over the past year.</p>
