The white dots show the 2,694 people still in prison serving an IPP sentence.

The red dots show the 90 people who’ve taken their own life in prison whilst serving an IPP sentence

IPP was abolished almost 12 years ago! When will those stuck in prison on IPP be free?
This week @UNGRIPP launched the IPP Constituency Map—a vital tool to expose the scale of the IPP sentence scandal across the UK

The IPP sentence was abolished in 2012, but for thousands of families, the sentence has never ended.

Yesterday, we are bringing the reality to the doorsteps of power. We are launching the IPP Constituency Map live from our exhibition in David Lammy’s constituency.

IPP License Changes become Law.

Yesterday, the Sentencing Act 2026 officially received Royal Assent and became law. While the government still refuses to "re-sentence" everyone on an IPP, they have shortened the license length further. Here are the three critical changes that have been made:

Next week, the Lords debate the Sentencing Bill. Some amendments may be dropped early, and most won’t pass without pressure. Please contact your local MP and urge them to ask James Timpson and David Lammy to support all amendments. Below is the our amendment table.

@annadixonmp.bsky.social well done for getting this taken seriously. 1 step at a time. This is great news for Jimmy and his family. Let’s hope that they will be back together soon. We urge other MP’s to follow Anna Dixon MP example and pressure the Government to finally end IPP.

18 years in prison for a 2.5-year tariff and STILL no release date.

Today at #PMQs, I told the Prime Minister about Jimmy, the son of Shipley constituents Mike and Sue.

I called on the PM to help put an end to the injustices caused by IPP sentences and support Jimmy’s Parents to get him home.

Well done to Jimmy’s family in getting this raised and receiving a direct answer from the PM and a massive thank you to @annalouisedixon MP for highlighting the ongoing struggle and fight of the IPP sentence. Only an appropriate resentencing process will end this trauma.

1. Next week, the House of Lords will debate the Sentencing Bill, featuring several amendments aimed at addressing the injustice of the IPP. While these amendments are vital, we must be realistic.

Sentencing Bill - Second Reading

From Nov 3rd HMPPS began a 6-month pilot for people recalled on an IPP/DPP sentence. We’ve made an easy-read version to explain what this means. We don’t want to raise false hope as it’s unlikely to make much difference. The only true solution is resentencing. #UNGRIPP
