Rejected petition Make prisoners work in prison
More details
Our campaign is about trying to get alternate or modified methods for prisoners rather than them sitting in prison all day.
We want the government to take action and make changes to this by bringing things like education rehabilitation or physical labour into prisons so they have something to do whilst also helping themselves or local communities.
A lot of prisoners, once let out, tend to re-offend and go back to prison which is a waste of tax payers money. Most of them have to steal so they can survive because they miss out on vital education because of the time they have spent in prisons.
