A courageous mother, joined by other families is leading a March not in anger, but in love.She refuses to let her son others become another number, another silent victim of the Sentence (IPP) sentence .

 A Sentence Led by a courageous  families and public are coming together to drive a vital campaign. With strength and determination,  fellow families are leading the charge for change. End Time for Justice

The IPP sentence is widely recognised as unjust, inhumane, and unworkable. But more than a decade later, thousands of us remain imprisoned under its broken legacy many for minor offences though abolished, and most having served well beyond their original tariffs.

Asked to prove our readiness for release inside a system that denies us the very tools to demonstrate that readiness.old  to reduce any risk but can't access the courses or have done them . They are told to progress but there is nowhere to progress to. they are being failed, then blamed for that failure.

Some have now served 15 years or more. Many committed minor or non-violent crimes.

All have no clear pathway out. Rehabilitation plans are broken. Support is inconsistent or missing altogether. Punished not for what they done but for what the state says we might do. This disproportionately from other non IPP Inmates. “This is not justice it’s detention without cause. Even when they done everything asked of them, the system still holds them back.

That is not justice. That is indefinite punishment, based not on who we are now, but on outdated risk assessments from long ago. Many of us have done everything asked of us: education, rehabilitation, work, mentoring others. And still, we wait.

kidnapped by a system meant to protect society, yet abandoned by it.The door to your freedom stays closed, but no one tells you when or if it will ever open.  plead for help, for guidance, for a chance to prove you’ve changed  but your captors don’t give you the tools or the keys. Trapped inside your own story, while outside, time keeps moving without you. you erode under the weight of endless uncertainty.It’s not just imprisonment  it’s a slow, soul-crushing captivity where justice feels forgotten, and your humanity is held hostage.

The pathway to release, is just waiting for the system to fix itself, while years of our lives disappear? Some were given two-year tariffs and have now served 10, 15, even 17 years  effecting there mental health . Over 100 deaths, many by suicide because of a sentence with no release. 

Worse, the mental health toll is devastating. Over 100 IPP prisoners have died  many by suicide. This sentence has stripped people of hope, family life, and any clear future. It’s not just unjust, they themselves risk peoples life’s.

Failure has blocked there ability to progress. If the system cannot provide the conditions for rehabilitation and release, then the burden must no longer fall on them to prove what cannot be proven under impossible circumstances.This is indefinite detention without cause. People who have done their time, taken steps to change, and are still waiting for a system to catch up.

Parliament has condemned the IPP sentence. The public knows it’s wrong. Experience proves it's unfix able. Now, it must be condemned in action  by creating a real, lawful route to release.

What more do you need to see that you haven’t already seen?

Please don’t pass this to the next government, the next decade, or the next tragedy. The time to act is now support the March . Follow the campaign. Share the stories. Write to your MP. Be the voice for those still unheard.Every year spent over-tariff is another year stolen. Every day without action is another family broken.

Do ask people from all walks of life, from every corner of the UK to come together as one.Please lend your support, raise your voice, and help shine a light on the suffering caused by the IPP sentence. Together, we are stronger and together, we demand change.

“I Am Still Here”

A poem for every life still trapped under IPP

They told me I'd serve two years.
But that was over a decade ago.
Time keeps moving outside these walls
In here, it doesn’t flow.

I am still here.
No breaches. No fresh crime.
Just a label. A shadow.
A system that refuses to count time.

I’ve done their courses.
I’ve followed their rules.
I’ve watched others walk
while I’m still trapped in this cruel loop

They say I’m a prove
but they won’t define it.
then fail to provide it.

My sentence was short.
But this punishment is endless.
This isn’t protection.
It’s a life stolen relentless.

I've seen hope collapse in men’s eyes.
I've seen suicide notes passed like prayers.
I've watched families fade on prison visits,
asking if we’re still there.

We are still here.
Still waiting.
Still screaming in silence for someone to hear.

We are not forgotten.
We are people.
Broken, but not rotten.

What more do we need to prove?
How many years over must we serve
before you admit the system is the broken?

Don’t wait for another death
to make this real. So listen now.
Not next year. Not next term. Not next tragedy.

End it. Release us.
Let justice finally mean something.
