Petition Action

Cut privileges given to prisoners in the UK

Petition Details

According to BBC news in 2011, 90% of those sentenced in England and Wales had offended before. In March 2016 there were 85,500 prisoners across England and Wales. We believe one of the major reasons for these reoffending rates is the unnecessary privileges that prisoners receive.

Additional Information

In our opinion these unnecessary privileges are the use of computers and televisions. As well as activity's such as pool and snooker.

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're not sure whether you'd like to restrict access to the things you name or ban them completely.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could start a new petition asking for prisoners to be banned from using computers, televisions and games, if that's what you'd like to happen.
