“The European court of human rights has ruled that indeterminate prison sentences (IPPs) breached prisoner’s human rights. There are over 6,000 IPP prisoners in England and Wales currently without a release date, leading a senior high court judge to describe them as ‘the disappeared’. 3,500 of these prisoners have already served their time but have no idea when they will leave prison.”
