Early Day Motion 1524

Euan News

 

Our colleagues at mojuk.org.uk have asked us to publish the following announcement.  It concerns an Early Day Motion in the House of Commons seeking to address the ongoing effects of IPP (Imprisonment for Public Protection) sentences, a form of indeterminate sentence which was abolished in 2012.

 

Early Day Motion 1524: End Indeterminate Sentence For Public Protection Prisoners 

That this House expresses concern that too many men and women are trapped in the prison system with no fair prospect of release under the discredited indeterminate sentence for public protection which was abolished six years ago; expresses further concern that over 1,000 people who were released were recalled to prison mostly for administrative reasons; and calls on the Government to speed up the process for safe release, to ensure the resources to support people on release so they can resettle safely, to abolish the life licence and replace it with a fixed-term of supervision that ensures support for people on release and to severely restrict the power to recall to prison for IPPs.

Miscarriage of justice watchdog in the cross-hairs

The Andy Malkinson case is showing remarkable resilience in terms of its ability to hold the interest of the media. This type of story would normally last one news cycle or, perhaps, two – a matter of hours. It is deeply gratifying to see the continued and widespread press examination of this case, a month […]

Ethical, Moral and Legal Turpitude

The Independent reports, today, on a decision by the Crown Prosecution Service to bring no charges, following the “re-investigation” of the Birmingham pub bombings. Julie Hambleton, whose sister Maxine was killed in the atrocity, and who has fought tirelessly for justice over the intervening decades, describes that decision as “ethical, legal and moral turpitude”. It […]
