Rejected petition Remove leisure facilities from Prisons

More details

Remove leisure facilities from Prisons, it is wrong that people who have broke the law has any kind of leisure facilities whilst serving their sentence in prison.

My work took me into prisons and it is wrong prisoners have Sky TV (full package) in their cells and gyms etc available to them. One cell the prisoner had smashed up and nothing was done except moving him to another cell. The space taken by gyms should be used for additional accommodation.
