E55 - Trapped in a Nightmare: The Injustice of IPP in the UK

  • Summary

  • *** THIS EPISODE CONTAINS REFERENCES TO SELF-HARM AND SUICIDE. PLEASE TAKE CARE WHEN LISTENING ***


    Imagine being stuck in a never-ending nightmare, with no hope of escape. Every day, the same routine: confined to a tiny cell, with nothing to do but stare at the walls. No end in sight, no light at the end of the tunnel. This has been the reality for thousands of prisoners in the UK, trapped in the Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence.

     

    When the IPP sentence was introduced in the early 2000s, it seemed like a perfect solution to keep dangerous offenders off the streets for longer periods of time. But it would quickly become an unjust nightmare for many prisoners and their families, as they were caught up in a system that seemed to have no way out. What exactly was the IPP system, and how did it come to be? What impact has it had on prisoners and their families, and how did it change the landscape of the UK prison system?
