Where is the Justice?

Ex-Civil Servant Professional with way too many sad stories to tell. Tired of a Broken System. Asking questions. Seeking Justice.

Stop the cowardice and ignorance. End the uninformed and lazy politics. The state is killing IPPs, making them ill and keeping them incarcerated for no scientifically valid reason. Time to have some expertise at the table of discussions!

@BBCWorldatOne Very fallacious argument from @AlexChalkChelt here. 1) on the basis of their offences, the risk of IPPs isn’t any different from people that today get a determinate sentence and “walk out” without the need for a parole review. So why do IPPs need to go to Parole?

We have been talking about this scandal for far too long and there are still about 1,000 IPP prisoners who have never been released on licence.

[Where is the Justice? @RealInjustices]

@ShabanaMahmood What about IPPs @ShabanaMahmood? They remain stuck regardless. Is this going to be applied to them too or is the government going to continue to treat IPPs as second class prisoners?

‘The government could help fix the prison crisis by fixing the issue with IPP altogether or at the very least, release those who have committed no further crime, which would empty one of the largest prisons entirely.‘

Lifers and IPP prisoners have been excluded from any progressive policies in the sentencing review outcomes, despite clear evidence they’re far less likely to re-offend.

[UNGRIPP @UNGRIPP]

Thread: We are extremely disappointed that yet again people on IPP sentences are being further penalised by the government by excluding them from the current changes to recall.

@MoJGovUK @ShabanaMahmood @MoJPermSec @10DowningStreet If you fix the issue of IPP sentences you would potentially empty three whole prisons and also stop the unnecessary suicides.

[Where is the Justice? @RealInjustices]

@davidhockey121 @Prison_Screw I’m with you on that but the evidence is clear: risk of reoffending has nothing to do with maintaining innocence. They should all know that. If they don’t ground their judgement on evidence, then what are their decisions based on?

[Where is the Justice? @RealInjustices]

@BrocqChristine @ShabanaMahmood I’m with you on that but the evidence is clear: risk of reoffending has nothing to do with maintaining innocence. The PB should know that, they even issued some guidance on it recently. If they don’t apply the evidence to their judgement, then what are their decisions based on?

[Where is the Justice? @RealInjustices]

@ShabanaMahmood Maybe it’s also time to let go IPPs who have served their time and are now over 10 years over tariff?

Or maybe it’s time to look at how Parole Boards assess risk? How could they find someone like Peter Sullivan unsafe for release if he was innocent all along?

[Where is the Justice? @RealInjustices]

@Prison_Screw I wonder how many times he was assessed by the Parole Board as posing too much of a high risk to be released when in fact he probably posed a very low risk not having committed that crime in the first place. Risk assessments clearly don’t work and yet no one will listen 🤦🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️
