What the petition asks
The introduction of prison visits for all secondary school aged students.
Visiting a cell will be a stark and grim reminder of the reality of losing freedom if caught carrying illegal weapons such as a knife or a gun.

We all know that knife crime has risen to a dangerously unacceptable level and as a result has left many families devastated & heartbroken.
Please sign this petition for the sake of our children.This is an urgent desperate request from one mother who wants schools to pilot this scheme, if the visit deters ONE person from using a knife then that's potentially one less murder. Please sign this petition as it could save a life.
