Rejected petition Make all prisons in England learning prisons: To reduce reoffending.

Most prisons in England operate by locking inmates in their cells most of the time and only letting them out for small periods of time. During the time they are out they are not doing anything that will help them reform or rehabilitate. Efforts should focus on helping understand criminal behaviour.
