The Prime Minister has committed to ending Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentences, a policy that has left hundreds of people detained indefinitely long after the sentence was abolished in 2012. This move aims to resolve the status of over 800 people currently held in prison and thousands more on licence, finally addressing a long-standing issue for affected families.
