What the petition asks
I would like all relgious services to be reestablished across all female HMP prison estates in England and Wales.
Dear friends, the current pressure and emotional strain of women within the prison establishment has been under represented. Women have suffered not being allowed, at times, to be visited by loved ones or see their children due to covid restrictions, however many understand this is necessary in difficult times. However many Women of all faiths do not have thier ancor at this time. Can all religious services be reinstated in female estates of England and Wales for their emotional wellbeing.
