Petition Action

Abolish whole life orders and reintroduce the death penalty

Petition Details

We would like the Government to reintroduce the death penalty, and for this to be used instead of whole life orders, as we believe that it would act as an example for future criminals, free up prison space and reduce the burden on taxpayers.

Additional Information

If someone commits a crime serious enough to warrant life in prison why should the tax payer pay to maintain that criminal with the risk of them escaping or being released early and reoffending.


If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
