Rejected petition Build New and Bigger Prisons

More details

I want the government to invest in building new prisons that will be able to house inmates for their full sentences. This will also encourage growth in building industry and provide hundreds of jobs around the country, both for prison wardens and builders, if they give the contracts to British Firms.
