Offering sun cream to two inmates who climbed on to a jail's roof during hot weather has been branded as "foolishness" by the Prisons Minister.
The convicts turned down the offer of lotion to protect against the sun's rays during an incident at Dartmoor prison in Devon on June 19.
Prisons Minister Jeremy Wright said he had ordered an immediate review into the matter, to ensure it was not repeated.
He said: "This should not have happened.
"There should be no policies in place which promote this kind of foolishness and I have ordered an immediate review of this incident to ensure that it does not happen again."
The Prisons Minister has ordered a review to avoid a repeat of the incident It is not clear how the prisoners managed to get on to the roof of the jail in Princetown.
A Ministry of Justice spokesman said the offer of sun cream was part of negotiations with the prisoners, and there was no obligation under health and safety rules to provide it.
John Hancock, from the Prison Officers' Association in the South West, said the decision was "absolutely ludicrous".
Mr Hancock said: "They shouldn't have been up there in the first place.
"It's only going to encourage other inmates to get on the roofs and expect sun cream, and possibly cold drinks and ice creams as well."
Dartmoor prison, which is able to hold 659 inmates, was originally built to hold French and American prisoners of war in 1809.
