As part of our active citizenship we have decided to focus on the current issue of our justice system and would appreciate your support by signing our petition.

Due to the recent change in law, our country is allowing convicted criminals to get away without punishment.

Criminals such as rapists and burglars have escaped punishment because of the lack of prisons in the UK. The ones existing currently are at full capacity and it is a danger to both prisoners and workers to continue filling these prisons.

Prisoners are to be released early from a fifth of the prisons in England and Wales in an attempt to ease the overcrowding crisis. Most jails are dangerously full, with some holding 70 per cent more inmates than they should do.

We have to build more prisons for not only the safety of our citizens but also for justice and in order to reform these criminals our justice system must be improved now. The victims of these crimes are currently receiving no justice for the crimes committed against them and this must change.

It is important to take action now to keep our country safe from these criminals.
