Protect the Public: Reform the Prison System to Reduce Reoffending — 7 signatures. Status: rejected.
We want the Government to reform prisons and probation to prioritise public safety and reduce reoffending, including secure facilities for high-risk offenders, rehabilitation and employment programmes for lower-risk offenders, and stronger consequences for persistent reoffending.
Prisons are overcrowded and reoffending remains high. We want Government to prioritise public safety by managing offenders according to risk. High-risk offenders should have secure specialist management, while suitable lower-risk offenders should receive rehabilitation, education, treatment and employment support. Persistent reoffenders should face stronger consequences. We want evidence-based reform that reduces reoffending, protects the public and saves taxpayers’ money.
