The IPP sentence was abolished in 2012, but for thousands of families, the sentence has never ended.

Yesterday, we are bringing the reality to the doorsteps of power. We are launching the IPP Constituency Map live from our exhibition in David Lammy’s constituency.

The white dots show the 2,694 people still in prison serving an IPP sentence.

The red dots show the 90 people who’ve taken their own life in prison whilst serving an IPP sentence

IPP was abolished almost 12 years ago! When will those stuck in prison on IPP be free?

"The IPP licence disrupts relationships, breeds anxiety, despair, hopelessness and alienation." ~ Bishop Rachel speaks out in the House of Lords, on the controversial #IPP sentences

Good to see this recent update [via @ungripp.bsky.social] 👇
2.⁠ ⁠The "Annual Review": If your license termination is unsuccessful at the 2-year mark, you no longer have to wait indefinitely. You now have a legal right to apply every single year after that to have your license terminated.

Astonishing that, almost 14 years on from this failed judicial experiment being abolished, so many people are still greatly impacted by this cruel sentence. History will judge & future generations will be shocked at the callous indifference towards the IPP issue shown by many in authority.

If you are not yet familiar with the shocking #IPPscandal hold onto your seats and watch this jaw dropping film.

That this cruel, inhumane & monumental injustice continues to be perpetrated by a Prime Minister who was himself a human rights lawyer is incomprehensible
“This isn’t North Korea we’re talking about - this is state sponsored torture in THIS country - happening right now”

Everyone needs to watch this jaw dropping film
