I'd like to see some sort of legislation introduced whereby if you are found guilty of a crime then you automatically lose any rights that you previously had. That would provide a baseline - and the state would then decide what you are entitled to while serving your sentence - and that would depend on the severity of the crime. I see no point in placing someone in prison for trashing someone else's home and property and then permitting them to have in prison the very things they've just trashed. Prison should not appear to be a home from home, it should represent a proper punishment and be a place you should never ever want to return to. Like everything else, it's been watered down to the point where it's now no longer seen to be a true deterrent.
