This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

This isn't something that the UK Government and Parliament can do.

Decisions about releasing prisoners into the community are taken by the Parole Board, which is independent of Parliament and Government. You can find out more about the Parole Board here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/parole-board/about

In January 2018, the Secretary of State for Justice announced a review into the law, policy and procedure relating to Parole Board decisions. You can find out more here:

https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/review-of-the-law-policy-and-procedure-relating-to-parole-board-decisions

You could start a new petition asking the UK Government and Parliament to make a specific change to how the Parole Board makes decisions, if that's what you'd like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
