Release lower risk prisoners before higher risk. — 11 signatures. Status: rejected.
The government have decided they need to make space in prisons for new prisoners, starting by making space by releasing high risk prisoners, insane and dangerous decisions.
This decision is dangerous and ludicrous. Let alone an insult to the people that are a lower risk, they will also now lose tag and have no idea when they will be able to go home, see their families and restart their lives. Why would anyone think it is a better idea to release high risk inmates compared to low risk? Higher risk inmates having years suddenly taken off their sentences are not prepared nor ready for release and they’re being set up to fail.
