For 18 months I've written about the IPP Scandal, determined to get the message out to a wide audience. So far my blogs have been read in more than 100 countries. I don't give up easily. Now is the time to end this "stain on our justice system" James Timpson Shabana Mahmood MP

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.

Looking forward to the interviews with the female boxers who were cheated out of medals and hearing about their 'immeasurable psychological damage' as well as physical as well of course.

Campaigners have recently hit out at the “short-sighted” decision not to include prisoners on #IPP sentences in the plans announced to reduce the prison population. Peter Stefanovic James Timpson Justice Committee Claire Fox thecriminaljusticeblog.com/2025/05/28/cam…

The new jail, which will sit alongside neighbouring jails HMP Garth and HMP Wymott, will mean a combined total of 3,700 prisoners will reside in the area, outnumbering the population of Ulnes Walton. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Faith Spear FRSA Small is beautiful Faith generally speaking. The only way this would work would be if it was demonstrably part of a progressive purpose. One to receive, risk assess and progress to the second prison whose priority would be discharge to paid employment.

When will they ever learn..? Madness !waste of resources/money/lives. UK doesn’t need more prison places. It needs to start only locking up those who need to be there to keep public safe. Prison is NOT working. It’s a disastrous failure & most come out worse than they went in

The UK government is pouring billions into building more prisons, yet fails to address the root cause—mental health. With so many imprisoned individuals suffering from mental illnesses, the focus remains on punishment rather than treatment, perpetuating a cycle of harm.
