A total of five inmates serving IPP sentences were handed tariffs less than six months, yet have remained in prison for at least 16 years, raising serious concerns about justice.
Campaigners describe these statistics as horrendous, emphasizing the emotional toll on families of those who might have expected a swift release only to face decades behind bars.
Ungripp, a group representing affected families, expressed shock upon finding out that individuals sentenced to less than a year could end up incarcerated for nearly two decades.
Despite their short sentences, many IPP prisoners, especially those sentenced before 2008, find themselves caught in a cycle of indefinite detention and lost hope.
