“I think there is an argument to say the law needs to be changed. Labour says it is looking into that.
“It can be quite difficult because you’ve got to respect the human rights of the prisoner and how you handle them. They should be strapped to a gurney and wheeled in.
“If they’re getting all mouthy, put a mask on them.”
He added: “You don’t want to hurt them or damage them, but quite why they can’t be forcibly taken in and made to listen to their own sentencing?”
