Rejected petition Judicial review (Reform) of the IPP sentence
More details
I wish to inform the public of the growing prison population & extreme prison sentences given to those in custody. I developed knowledge of the Criminal justice systems failings of reducing reoffending as a Prison officer. I uncovered an unjust system leaving people helpless without opportunities & resources to address their offending behavior. The result is overgrowing prison populations & lack of space for those who committed heinous crimes. My concern is the IPP sentence. For more info please research on the net.
I ask the government to conduct judicial reviews of all IPP cases ensuring sentence reflects severity of crime. Research 3,500 IPP cases in custody after their expiry date. Look into providing them options for release i.e. have they been supplied with offending behavior courses? Make a policy to supply courses before tariff expiry so they can reduce the risk of re offending & prove to the parole board if they no longer pose a risk to the society.
