Rejected petition Life means Life

More details

Its time our government recognises the liberties of its hard working law abiding citizens of all age groups by making punishment the primary function of our prison system. Life sentences should mean life, end the use of concurrent sentences by making the offender serve a sentence for each guilty offence. Restrict the parole privilege to non-violent crimes, and introduce the 3 strikes and out automatic life sentence for any violent crimes. It’s time the government put the protection of our citizens and communities at the top of if agenda.
