Liam Bennett, sentenced to an abolished indefinite term for arson at 17, argues he deserves a chance for freedom after nearly two decades in prison, emphasizing his transformation and desire for a normal life.
Bennett, lamenting the lack of a release date, stated, "I have changed so much in 18 years, I have learned so much, I'm confident I will take my chance with release and run with it."
He pointed out the injustice of his situation, questioning, "How can it be fair to not have a release date?" urging for reassessment of IPP sentences to help inmates trapped under these laws.
Despite facing violence and hopelessness in prison, Bennett remains hopeful about life outside, stating, "I want to build an independent life on the outside," contrasting his past with his aspirations for a better future.
