We hope @ShabanaMahmood & @JamesTCobbler will act swiftly & implement the IPP amendments that were passed in the Victims & Prisoners Act before the election was called. Swift action on these changes will reinstate hope for many people affected by IPP sentences & may save lives.

“They infringe on fundamental human rights.” Imprisonment for public protection (IPP) sentences were abolished in 2012, but there are nearly 3,000 prisoners still being held. UN Special Rapporteur on Torture, Dr Alice Jill Edwards, is demanding action.

1/2 We are honoured & also speechless to have been put forward for the Longford Trust award & to have won it. This is not just an award for UNGRIPP but for every person who has been affected by the IPP sentence. For those who have survived it & for those who have not.

Yesterday the government released data on self inflicted deaths in prison. In 2023, 9 people took their own life whilst serving an IPP sentence. Each was a real person with real loved ones now suffering. This is not justice. @AlexChalkChelt
