"I don't go out, I've got no social circle," he says. "I'm not in no family photographs, it's like Back To The Future when he gets erased from the photos, I'm not there. I'm a ghost - I've been a ghost for 20 years."

A recent IMB report states: ‘Prisoners still serving the long-abolished imprisonment for public protection (IPP) sentences experience hopelessness, frustration &, for many, poor mental health. They face great difficulty progressing towards release…’

We need your help!
In order to gain more support from MPs, it would be really helpful for us to know how many people affected by IPP or who are supportive of change to IPP sentences live in the area the MP represents

Currently, there are 1,095 prisoners serving IPP sentences who have never been released. Nearly two-thirds have served over ten years beyond their initial tariffs. Additionally, almost 1,600 individuals are currently detained due to recalls, mostly for minor probation violations.

🚨The #IPPscandal is one of the most shocking, cruel & monumental injustices of the past half century
The statement made by Justice Secretary @ShabanaMahmood about resentencing is just not true. What the hell is going on here?

Almost 20 yrs ago IPP was introduced. Almost 12 yrs ago it was abolished.
So, is this really the best the government can come up with - to look at the 30% who are in the “wrong” prison & to analyse data?
This is not enough!

Today is the first day the phone line opens. If you have any questions about the licence changes to IPP, give them a call.
If you or a loved one has any questions about the recent IPP licence changes, there is now a hotline to call set up by @TheHowardLeague
