Former head of Parole Board calls for inmates jailed indefinitely to get release date

Seven years on, there are still 2,489 IPP prisoners - 90% have served beyond the original minimum sentence tariff recommended by their trial judge.

"Numbers are coming down and I know the parole board is giving this a lot of attention, but the difficulty is that an IPP sentence keeps you in prison because of what you might do, rather than what you have done and to get out you need to prove that you are no longer a risk. "It's really had a huge effect, it's put huge pressure on the family," she said."It's absolutely heartbreaking. We are literally living in hell, it's torture.

"My mind hurts and is continuously running, it never stops, the pain in my heart hurts and I need my family." "This was a very curious sentence. Parliament made a very drastic error back in 2003 when it made this sentence, because it was passed on the basis of what somebody might do rather than what they have done, so there is no date that people can look forward to and say I have served my punishment and I will get a second chance, so of course there is a feeling of hopelessness.

Isnt he the rapist taxi driver? Yeah let him out so he can carry on where he left off ..great idea ffs

They say prison isn't a punishment it's to protect society , murderers , child abusers and rapists will always be a threat until they swill down life's plughole...... thedateiswhendeatharrives

Current member of a law abiding society calls for a return of capital punishment.

Can only be a nonce’s decision

What sick child killers and serial killers Yeah mate I can see why you dont.l work there now

I think he needs to look up the word Indefinately in the dictionary

The 12th of never.

He's right, there are many in high security prison's that shouldn't be there, THEY SHOULD HAVE HUNG THEM.

He said “the majority of Imprisoned for Public Protection prisoners are low risk, but are stuck in limbo and without hope”. OH BOO HOO

That’s easy use the same logic as in the USA 999 years as a life sentence

How about April 1st 2099

NO

Quite right, it’s almost as if they’re treated like criminals

Yeah, stopped reading at FORMER

The date of death.

Easy 2099

He is correct….. Bring back capital punishment and then, after circa 6 minutes the issue is permanently removed.

Don’t commit crime = Don’t go to jail = Don’t have to have a release date set ! Simples

The day after they die, simple. We should never forget the victims & their families of these criminals

Every part of this country seems to be run by out of touch morons. What the hell is going on?

Crime pays! (In jail for a holiday break) OUT soon! Where is the deterrent?

How about releasing them when they dead

The Parole and Judiciary appear to have a conveyor belt of bellends both previously employed and currently, making wank suggestions and decisions.....

They can move in with him or next door. I bet he changes his mind.

That’s Simple year 3000 is their release date

He looks like an excellent advert for however he loves his life

Can't we just give them lethal injections instead ......

Why !

Not sure i fukers who have killed kids and not admited it, would have any motivation if might get out . Should be humanly tortured for every scrap of evidence. Not treated with respect

Clueless

Clear reason there then why he's 'former' head of Parole Board.

Another one with no idea

spot on release date when they die in prison
