Petition Minimum 5 years in prison for possession of indecent photograph of a child

I think it's very shocking that people found in possession of child porn (criminal justice act 1988 section 160) get maximum of 5 years prison. This should be changed straight away and I think personally they should be locked up for life, but I know this ain't realistic for the government.

More details

This is to out of date and should be changed straight away as well as criminal justice act 1978 section 1
