This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. The current allocation criteria for Hollesley Bay Prison already states "no current sex offenders". We're therefore not exactly sure what further you want the UK Government or Parliament to take. You may wish to contact the Governor of the prison directly to discuss your concerns. You can find out more about the allocation criteria and how to contact the Governor here:
