This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

This isn't something that the UK Government and Parliament can do.

Decisions about releasing prisoners into the community are taken by the Parole Board, which is independent. The Government and Parliament can't change the Parole Board's decision.

You can find out more about the Parole Board, and read its statement about this decision, here:

The Chair of the Justice Committee, the group of MPs that looks at the work of the Ministry of Justice, is looking into the transparency of Parole Board decisions.
