"The government has refused to establish an expert committee on resentencing IPP prisoners, leaving over 2,600 individuals with no release date despite their long sentences."
"The justice select committee highlighted that the government has misunderstood their advice and has not sufficiently explored the unique injustice presented by abolished IPP sentences."
"Peer Lord Woodley compared the plight of IPP prisoners to high-profile injustices like the Post Office Horizon scandal, emphasizing the urgent need for resentencing."
"Despite repeated calls from the UN and campaigners, the current Labour government has also declined to consider resentencing these prisoners, leading to ongoing concerns about their welfare."
