Investigate systemic racism & inequalities within the prison service staff
There have been countless numbers of incidences & occurrences of systemic racism within the prison service staff towards inmates as well as other members of staff. This is unacceptable in this day & age, especially for a public sector that is based on reform, education & reintegration into community
The government & parliament must investigate & take action before the issue of racism comes to a head and breaking point without the prison service staff. The government & parliament must use this to set an example & show that racism in any form & in any environment is completely unacceptable & will not be tolerated. The government & parliament has to make a stand with the BAME community and show it’s stance and strength towards racism; that any form of racism is a violation of human rights

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
The Government-commissioned Lammy Review investigated the issue of structural racism in the criminal justice system, including the prison service.

While the Government has responded to the Review, some of its recommendations have not been acted upon. If you wish the findings of the Lammy Review to be acted upon, you may wish to sign this petition: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/329097.
If you want an aspect of the prison service to be investigated which isn't covered by the Lammy Review, you could start a petition calling for such a review to be commissioned.
