Release IPP Prisoner's Who have served their time and more 2014
Release these prisoners please -home secretary David Blunkett has expressed "regret" that indeterminate jail terms, brought in while he was in office, have led to "injustices". IPP numbers mushroomed, with many in jail well past their minimum terms.
IPP has now been abolished, more than 5,500 IPP prisoners remain within the system, with nearly two-thirds over their tariff. IPP prisoners appear to be at a significantly higher risk of mental health problems than other prisoners, according to the Centre for Mental Health.In a study it carried out in 2008, it found that one in 10 IPP prisoners were seeking psychiatric help in prison, double the rate in the general prison population.
