Rejected petition Change the sentence plan for all prisoners still on the abolished IPP sentences.

Despite being abolished in 2012 there are still thousands of prisoners in the system on these barbaric IPP sentences which have no end date. People who have served past their minimum sentence have no 'light at the end of the tunnel' and this causes mental health issues, self harm and suicide.
