The article highlights the exclusion of prisoners serving Indeterminate Public Protection (IPP) sentences from new emergency measures aimed at alleviating prison overcrowding. Justice Secretary Shabana Mahmood announced a plan to release certain prisoners after 28 days for breach of license conditions, but IPP prisoners will not benefit. This exclusion has led to concerns from campaigners and peers about potential increases in suicides among these inmates, as many are trapped indefinitely due to minor breaches and the lengthy Parole Board review process. Critics label this decision as a significant moral failure.
The exclusion of IPP prisoners from the new release measures has been criticized as morally wrong and a missed opportunity to alleviate prison overcrowding.
