Petition MP for Prisoners

More details

The house of commons should be reformed to include an additional member of Parliament to be elected by prisoners. Prisoners are directly effected, day to day, by government policy yet have no say in electing representatives. By creating an MP for prisoners we would help foster a sense of citizenship in those who feel neglected by society and meet our international human rights obligations.
