I understand if they had murdered someone or raped someone.
My son was in a fight at McDonalds and a street robbery.
He was 17 years old, and my mum had died two weeks before that.
He went off the rails.
I dont know what else to do to get him out.
There is no light at the end of the tunnel for him.
My little girl, she was seven months old when he got put inprison.
Its so unfair shes missed 20 years of her brother, she said.
Its horrendous the way that they have treated them, and I know its not just him.
Its like our familys not whole.
Last year, probation recommended him for release, but the parole board later denied his request.
I cant understand it.
They are just finding reasons to not let him have parole.
Its about time somebody gave him a break and let him come home.
He was 17 years old, and my mum had died two weeks before that.
He went off the rails.
We get these prison reports that state that because of his behavior there they cannot release him.
IPP sentences also pose significant mental health risks for prisoners.
The organization focuses on penal reforms in England and Wales and operates independently of the United Kingdom government.
The lawyer believes that these sentences represent the greatest single stain on our criminal justice system.
IPP prisoners are two-and-a-half times more likely to self-harm than the general prison population,The Guardianreported.
Other 30 cases of suicide were reported within the IPP population that was released.
IPP sentences will be undergoing changes under theVictims and Prisoners Act 2024.
This disgrace needs to end.
Last September, Lord Woodleyintroduced a billfor all IPP prisoners to be resentenced.
Something needs to be done about these IPP prisoners immediately, a FB user commented
