Stop allowing criminals to have a better life than innocent people.

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

A study has suggested that criminals be allowed Skype and/or social media in prison. There are people who've never done anything wrong in their life and struggle to afford basic internet service and mobile phones and now our taxes are going to find them to have a more cushy life? It's not right.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

If you would like the Government to reduce the level of amenities available to serving prisoners in all prison categories, you could start a petition about that.
