Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) jail terms are criticized as overbearing and unfair by a former Tory justice secretary, who urges reform. Despite being abolished in 2012, over 2,500 individuals remain incarcerated indefinitely, experiencing significant psychological harm. This situation is described as state overreach and has been condemned as psychological torture by the UN. Victims of the IPP system, such as Leroy Douglas and Thomas White, have endured disproportionate sentences, far exceeding their original terms, highlighting the urgent need for justice reform.
Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) jail terms are overbearing and unfair as he urged his successor...to look carefully at fresh proposals to end the historic wrong.
More than 2,500 inmates are still trapped under the outlawed jail terms, which have been described by the UN as psychological torture.
They were abolished in 2012, but not retrospectively, leaving those already jailed incarcerated indefinitely.
If you take the time to explain to people how the state has got things wrong and that this is a state overreach...then I think that offends against most British people's sense of justice.
