Offenders who refuse to face their victims' families at sentencing could be stripped of privileges or kept in cells for weeks on end under tough new rules announced by the government.

Ministers hope the new penalties will be a tougher deterrent and give offenders "something more to lose". #prison #justice #sentencing
