Make all prisons in England learning prisons: To reduce reoffending.

Rejected 11 signatures

What the petition asks

Most prisons in England operate by locking inmates in their cells most of the time and only letting them out for small periods of time. During the time they are out they are not doing anything that will help them reform or rehabilitate. Efforts should focus on helping understand criminal behaviour.

Why it was rejected

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

We're not sure exactly what you mean by "learning prisons", so we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.
