Closed petition Mandatory whole life sentences for convicted murderers
Closed on
The Government should make the required sentence for murder a whole life sentence, so the offender spends the rest of their life in prison, without the possibility of parole.
If someone kills another person the deceased doesn’t have a life anymore, but the killer is often freed after serving a minimum sentence. We believe they should be in prison for the rest of their life.
