Petition by Mary Sweeney 
Cambridge uk

Petitioning Rt. Hon. Chris Grayling MP

"Please urgently review and amend your new rules which restrict prisoners access to books and family items, in particular from children. Rules which are inconsistently applied in any event."

Access to books can be crucial for education and rehabilitation. Access to family items are important for continued family connection, and should not additionally punish children of prisoners who need contact.
