Release certain IPP prisoners

Closed 108 signatures

What the petition asks

The Government should release IPP prisoners whose sentence exceeds current guidelines or are otherwise deemed safe for release, and remove the 10-year licence condition. My partner is imprisoned under the IPP rules, and we have a 1 year old son together and don't know when he's going to be home.
I want the Government to provide for the release of all IPP prisoners they are not a danger or have served a sentence in line with current guidelines. They should be given a release date.
