A report by Her Majesty’s Inspector of Prisons also said prisoners at Bullingdon Prison in Oxfordshire should be served their evening meals later in the day, to stop them feeling hungry overnight.
The Prison Officers’ Association reacted angrily to the recommendations, drawn up after an inspection in January.
Glynn Travis, spokesman for the POA said: “I don’t think we can keep control of violent prisoners by calling them by their first name.”
Among 200 recommendations made to improve the running of the prison, was the suggestion that complaints about prison food should be dealt with more quickly.
The report added that inmates should be allowed to choose whether they are addressed by their first name, or surname and title.
It recommended that more prisoners should be given gym inductions, and suggested inmates be given more time outside their cells, and have anonymous access to condoms.
Among other issues raised by inmates were cramped conditions in shared cells, mundane training and lack of space in the library.
Mr Travis added: “Rather than criticise officers for their use of force, the inspectors should look at the underlying problems
“There is more and more violence at prisons because of a lack of staff. There are major problems with overcrowding and prisoners who shouldn’t be there.”
Bullingdon’s governor, Phil Taylor, denied his prison was too tough on inmates.
He said: “Sanctions are in place for those prisoners who break rules - I don’t think we’re too hard on them. I think we have a balanced approach, which helps protect the public and reduces reoffending.
“I don’t believe our prison is a soft option either. I have seen draconian prisons and very liberal prisons and we’re somewhere in the middle. We welcome the inspectors’ report.”

I miss many things also..
What winds me up is this PC brigade which seems to have sprouted up in the last few years, who seem to care more for the criminals than the victims..
IMHO, prisons should be harsh so as to act as a deterrent. I recall reading an article a few months back, weher a lag actually wanted to go back to prison, because he found life outside too tough to handle>...
Not sure about the gym after the sex session.
I usually just go to sleep.
I am here in Qatar now.
I haven't felt scared once [roads excluded].
I have left things on seats / tables by mistake and gone back to find them un touched.
I don't worry about my kids being mugged or beaten up.
And no one thinks going to prison is a way of becoming a tough guy.
But I do miss some things about the UK.
Call me Maninibat!
