Review young offenders sentencing and consider increased use of custody
We ask the UK Government to review how young offenders aged 10 and above who commit hate crimes, harassment, vandalism or antisocial behaviour and spread racism are currently sentenced. We think they should face more serious legal consequences including increased use of custodial sentences.
Allow conjugal visits with spouses for prisoners incarcerated for 3+ years
Allow prisoners who have been on incarcerated for 3+ years to have conjugal visits with their spouse. They must be married to do so. You can’t change partner with whom you choose as your person to have the conjugal visit with.
Fund accommodation for all prison leavers
We call on the Government to fund accommodation for everyone leaving prison so they are not released directly on to the streets and therefore put at a much greater risk of re offending.
Increase domestic violence maximum sentences and penalties & reform bail laws
We call on Parliament to increase domestic violence maximum sentences and strengthen bail laws by banning bail to high-risk and repeat offenders. Increase penalties for repeat abuse and restraining order breaches to prioritise victim safety. Risk assessments should be required before release.
Require prisons to separate visiting children from all sex offenders
We want the Government to require prisons to run separate, safeguarded visiting sessions for prisoners convicted of sexual offences so that children visiting other prisoners are not exposed to them during visits.
