This petition was submitted during the 2010-2015 parliament
Petition Tender of Prison Sentences to other Countries
More details
The Government is petitioned to tender out the prison sentence to interested countries (possibly Turkey, Greece, etc) for habitual re-offenders. The average cost per prison place in England is £45,000 per year and the majority of nations do not spend this per prisoner. This tendering would therefore be a cost saving measure to the UK whilst encouraging people not to re-offend. With no change in criminal justice policy, by the end of June 2016 the prison population is projected to increase to between 83,100 and 93,600.
