Rejected petition Increase the minimum jail sentence for rape and Paedophilia.

The minimum jail sentences for rape and paedophilia are currently too short in both cases. Why should people need to worry about letting these kinds of dangerous people onto our streets after spending a short amount of time in prison?

More details

I am proposing this to stop these kinds of dangerous individuals from being let back out into society after serving pitifully short jail sentences.
