Deduct time of prisoners sentence.
Rejected

What the petition asks
I would like the government to deduct time of prisoners sentence as being kept in their cells 23 hours a day is not rehabilitation. As this has been going on since March 2020.
I would like the government to do more because the prisoners do not have a vice that is heard and most prisoners are struggling to be kept in their cells for that long it is not good for their mental health and something needs to be done before prisoners do something stupid. Time should be deducted from the start of the pandemic in March 2020 so almost a year.
