Thomas White, sentenced to a minimum of two years under the imprisonment for public protection (IPP) scheme for mobile phone theft in 2012, faced over a decade in prison without a release date. This uncertainty led to severe mental health issues, culminating in a diagnosis of paranoid schizophrenia. After a long struggle by his family, he was finally transferred to a medium secure mental health hospital, marking hope for proper care. Clara White expressed relief at the transfer, noting the serious decline in her brother's mental health while imprisoned.
Clara White described the current system as "definitely psychiatric abuse," highlighting how the indefinite nature of her brother's sentence contributed to his serious mental health decline.
Clara expressed the emotional impact of finally getting her brother transferred, saying, “I did cry. It was unbelievable. It was, oh my word, we've achieved what we've set out to do.”
