Even the person who brought them in (David Blunkett, who is notoriously authoritarian) thinks they shouldn’t be done.
Everyone still on them should be re-sentenced with three options, 1) reduce to time served and immediately released 2) converted to a life sentence and subject to the usual parole rules or 3) converted to a hospital order.
Obviously that would require a change in the law so it won’t happen, and – because this government are obsessed with optics – it could also be spun as “theyre releasing more prisoners!”
I’m sorry but everytime I hear about them, the individual in question has done something to justify extending their sentence.
They may have went it because when they were 17 for something minor, but there’s almost always a cavaet of “violent incident in prison” that their campaigners keep quiet about the details.
I worked with high risk, high profile offenders. Roughly 70 of them over a 2 year period.
2 of those were subsequently given IPP sentences.
1 of them had raped a 13 year old and attempted to rape at least 3 others that we know of, as well as a string of other offences.
The other had, by his own confession sexually assaulted around 80 children over the course of 40 years. Again he had a string of other offences.
I wouldn’t even say these two were the “worst” people I worked with.
I hope that gives people perspective on the sort of people that receive an IPP.
My professional opinion is we should give more IPPs.
Monsters are real.
I think all violent offenders should be given an IPP sentence and not released until they can demonstrate that they can behave themselves. If they are still committing violent acts within prison, then of course they are still a danger to the public and shouldn’t be released.
