NTD’s Lee Hall sits down with Richard Garside, director of the Centre for Crime and Justice Studies, to talk about imprisonment for public protection (IPP). The IPP sentence has seen thousands of people imprisoned for extra years after serving their sentence despite not committing any further offences. They have little chance of release, and even when they are released, they are often recalled to prison for the most minor of infractions. The IPP was introduced in 2003 by then Home Secretary David Blunkett, who calls it his greatest regret.
