“If we can do justice in the terrible cases of the Post Office and the infected blood scandal, we can do it here.” Lord Thomas on why we must end the IPP scandal in 2026. www.independent.co.uk/voices/ipp-se…
independent.co.uk
Indefinite jail terms are indefensible – so why are thousands still trapped by them?
The government admits IPP jail sentences are a mistake, but refuses to correct it. With prisons at breaking point and petty criminals being held inside with no hope of release, this is a stain on our justice system we can no longer ignore, says Lord Thomas
