In February 2012, Boisvenu, a key Conservative spokesman on crime issues, stated that convicted murderers should be given the choice of suicide rather than spending life in jail.

He retracted the statement after it sparked controversy and later issued an apology "if his comment offended people whose close ones committed suicide".
