Release prisoners on IPP sentences who have completed their tariff.

Closed 121 signatures

What the petition asks

My fiancé was sentenced to a 2 1/2 year IPP sentence in January 2007. He is still incarcerated now, a decade over his tariff. He is currently awaiting parole.
He has served the punishment side of his for his crime but it feels like he is still being punished, his probation officers change, along with their views of risk.

The IPP sentence was abolished in 2012, but many prisoners are still waiting to be released.
