This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Sentences are the responsibility of the courts, which are independent of the Government and Parliament. The Parole Board is responsible for deciding if someone can be released from prison. You can find out more information here: www.gov.uk/getting-parole/overview

If you want the UK Government or Parliament to ensure that all IPP prisoners receive a parole hearing by a specific date, we could accept a petition on that.
