Petition Hard Labour and Hot bunking in UK jails

More details

Introduce Hard Labour in UK prisons. Prisoners would work 12hr shifts doing some form of hard physical labour. While one shift works there other shift would have access to the prison cell. Then vice versa. This would then effectively double the prison capacity by allowing 2 prisoners to share a single bed allowing more criminals to be locked up.
