Petition Stop allowing prisoners to be released before the end of their sentence
Prisoners should serve the FULL sentence given. So many prisoners are let out half way through or 2 thirds of their sentence and not serving the full time, this is just wrong. If they get 6 years then they should serve 6 years, where is the justice in this country.
More details
My friend was murdered and the people responsible may serve less than 10 years, due to our justice system letting criminals out after they have served half or 2 thirds of their sentences! This is no justice to families and friends that are seriously affected long term from their losses. Whatever the judge gives a criminal 6 years, 10 years etc. they should SERVE THE WHOLE SENTENCE.
