IPP COMMITTEE IN ACTION

@LifeOutside2017 @Reform_Rebuild Prison officers all day long

@Reform_Rebuild And they present misinformation on TV that it's Drones bringing the majority of contraband into Prisons, I'm an Ex-Lifer and trained Mentor with Probation, I speak to newly released people at a hostel they tell me it's still Prison Officers bringing in most of the contraband

The crisis of drug misuse and access within prisons is scandalous. The unchecked inflow and operation of drugs continue unabated, causing financial strain on families and slowly killing individuals from within. Meanwhile, HMPPS's drug strategy budget remains underspent.

Sentencing Act 2026 – Changes to IPP licence termination: insidetime.org/information/se…

“Ministers have been urged to end the 'catastrophic cycle' of never-ending prison recalls for inmates trapped under abolished indefinite jail terms.” independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/… #IPP #JusticeForIPPs

Politicians, prison experts and campaigners are calling for an MP to sponsor a private members bill to introduce a 56-day fixed recall period for those serving Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) jail terms. independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/…

Ombudsman and Samaritans excluded from Ministerial Board on Deaths in Custody Any ounce of Accountability and transparency completely out of the window? @PPOmbudsman @InsideTimeUK @TheHowardLeague @PRTuk linkedin.com/safety/go/?url…

One in every 15 uniformed prison officers was investigated for corruption in 2024/25, according to research published by the House of Commons Library. The figures show the rate of corruption investigations is significantly higher among male officers than their female colleagues.

Another case sent to the Appeal Courts by the CCRC. If you have a loved one that has appealed their IPP sentence but was unsuccessful. Please get in contact with the CCRC. If it is easier for you guys we can send you the relevant forms out to you. rozenberg.substack.com/p/hope-for-ipp…

This is the seventh referral of its kind since the start of the year by the CCRC as part of its work to examine the impact of recent caselaw on IPP/DPP sentences.
