What the petition asks
Do not release anyone convicted of domestic abuse early just because of our prisons are overcrowded.
We think this sends out the wrong signal to them and their victims who may believe they can offend with little consequence and could water down our criminal justice system.
We think this would be an injustice to their victims throughout our country.
