I want to address the covid19 spread throughout uk prisons. uk prisoners, unless serving a life sentence, serving time for murder, or convicted of terrorism, should be released on temporary licence/curfew etc.

Leaving prisoners locked in their cells 23 hours a day where they have been isolated fully from society ie no visits not fully knowing whats going on with family members health on the outside,majority of staff not obliging to the social distancing rule set out by the government and not wearing PPE when entering the prison leaving ALL prisoners life at risk. At this difficult time prisoners are being isolated from their families and vice versa. This kind of outbreak has never been seen before in the uk and its time people stopped forgetting about the people that are serving time in Her Majestys HMP.

UNLESS SERVING LIFE SENTENCES/CONVICTED OF MURDER/TERRORISM THEN WHY SHOULD ALL PRISONERS FACE POSSIBLY A LIFE SENTENCE?

Reason

Everyone, whether you have family members incarcerated, know someone or knows some one who knows someone should sign this petition due to the simple fact that unless serving a life sentence why should all prisoners be looking at a death sentence?

Prisoners have no choice when it comes to self isolation as the little staff left working at HMP prisons could completely ignore the guidelines set out by the government ie invading personal space by ignoring social distancing, searching prisoners wearing no ppe and handling prisoners food also without wearing ppe, the communal showers not being cleaned before and after each use and the distance between shower cubicals violates the social distancing rule.

ppe is also not provided for prisoners and when self protecting with face scarfs are being told to remove it due to officers ignorance to the covid 19 spread of infection and protection and as recent news has shown it isn't just elderly and people with underling health issues that are at risk but EVERONE Also many prisons like woodhill for example do not carry out covid 19 testing therefore has no idea who has the virus or is spreading the virus.

No one knows the outcome of this virus and its not fair that all prisoners could face dying in prison and can have virtually no contact with their families at this emotional and difficult time except by telephone.

Thank you for your support
