Remove the ability of convicts with life sentences to apply for release

Petition Details

The Government needs to change rules on life sentences. We are calling for a life sentence to actually mean a person will never be let out of prison.

Additional Information

Many people in society feel that life sentences where convicts can apply for release after serving a minimum term is not sufficient punishment. Allowing people who have been sentenced to life in prison to apply for release is not justice for the families. This petition also calls for strict life sentences for criminals that commit crimes that result in a life sentence.
