Require judges to continue to jail rapists that are found guilty

Petition Details

Judges are being told not to jail rapists due to prisons being full, so violent offenders are allowed to wander the streets and put the general public in danger. Why not less violent offenders, such as personal drug users, or other crimes that don't put people in danger of life changing violence?

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We can only accept petitions about things 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.
