What the petition asks

Give all serving prisoners 3 months off their prison sentence
Because covid is not prisoners fault and they are being punished for it.. still locked up 23hours a day with no chance of finishing sentance plans .education. work courses ect

Effecting families relationship and prisoners mental health. release time taken of there sentance is the least you can do to get these people looking forward to life again and not locked away like animals over something not their fault
