This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about arrangements for people who are recalled to prison, but we're not sure how you want existing arrangements to be changed.

The cases of prisoners who are recalled are already sent to a parole board. Decisions about whether to grant parole to recalled prisoners are a matter for parole boards, not the Government or Parliament.
