Petition Release IPP prisoners who have served their fixed tariff

IPP sentences were introduced in 2005 to prevent serious offenders who did not warrant a life sentence being released when they still posed a danger to the public. Despite being scrapped in 2012, nearly 3,000 criminals remain behind bars after being given such a sentence.

More details

IPP prisoners who have served their fixed tariff (the minimum term that must be served in custody) should be freed, as these sentences were abolished in 2012 for being indefensible.
