Transfer all child sex offenders and child murderers overseas

What the petition asks
The Government should seek an agreement to transfer all prisoners serving sentences for child sexual abuse or murder of a child to serve their sentence overseas.
I believe this would help reduce overcrowding, staff shortages and funding cuts. I believe it would be a remedy that should kill two with one stone as it would empty prison cells and should be of substantial financial benefit considering our prisons are currently operating at a cost of above fifty thousand United Kingdom pounds per prisoner per year.
