Petition Action

Keep rapists in prison

Petition Details

Judges have been told not to jail rapists as prisons are full. This makes no sense. People do not asked to be raped. People do, however, ask for drugs. Criminals convicted of victimless crimes are the ones who should not be imprisoned until more prisons are made. Rapists should be imprisoned.

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 that the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about the timing of sentencing for convicted criminals are a matter for the courts, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign:

New restrictions on murderers and rapists being moved to open prisons: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/638042

Abolish parole for sentences for rape and murder: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/642022
