Government response—
Parliamentary debateNot eligible
Milestones—

We want the government to change the law so that prison sentences for crimes can only be served consecutively, not concurrently.

We feel that when someone serves their sentences concurrently, it can be as though they are not being punishment for one of their crimes at all.
