Rejected petition prisoners to be moved to Nigeria

More details

I think the cost of keeping Prisoners is so expensivse to the taxpayer approx £40,000 a year to keep a prisoner, that we should sent our prisoners to nigerian jails as its only approx £2500 a year to keep a prisoner there, this would save millions for the taxpayer and probably stop a lot of crime as criminals would think before crime if they know they have to serve there Prison term Abroad
