Petition Use of Prisoners in Work Gangs
More details
Use prisoners deemed non-violent as labour in public works. This could be used as a reward system for good behaviour from prisoners.
This would give work-experience, prepare prisoners for rehabilitation and give them a sense of self worth.
This investement in work could lead to less investment in prisons.
