Require prison sentences to be served consecutively, not concurrently

Petition Details

We want the government to change the law so that prison sentences for crimes can only be served consecutively, not concurrently.

Additional Information

We feel that when someone serves their sentences concurrently, it can be as though they are not being punishment for one of their crimes at all.
