•      tightening provisions relating to the release of victims’ details and providing for the crediting of certain proportions of compensation paid to prisoners to the Victims of Crime Fund;

•      ensuring monitored and recorded communications can be used in court or for other investigative purposes, including body-worn cameras for prison officers;

•      introduce ‘prison buffer zones’ where controlled drugs are prohibited; and

•           changing the parole process to expand the types of offences that are subject to review, introduce a new review mechanism for re-release and increasing the membership of the Parole Board.
