The Petition Committee commented:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government aren't responsible for the issue you raise. Relaxing restrictions introduced during the pandemic is an operational matter for individual institutions. We could accept a petition calling for the UK Government or Parliament to introduce rules about the maximum time a prisoner can be forced to spend in their cell, if this is something you would like to happen.

They need to get back into employment within the hmp, to keep busy & for a sense of self and education needs to get back up and running so courses can be completed in order to progress through the prison system & to rehabilitate.
