Rejected petition Send convicted rioters to army (no pay)

More details

Conscript convicted rioters and other scum of our society to the army (pay suspended due to their conviction). Would free up space in prisons, boost the army numbers at no cost and teach them some respect. 6 weeks training with the Para's (tough unit) and a one way ticket to Afghanistan. The 'real' men of the army would soon teach them how to behave! They would get 'valuable' experience and learn some discipline.
