Indefinite prison terms 'psychological hell'
Thousands of prisoners in England and Wales have no idea when they will be released - even though they have served their minimum sentences.
It is because of Imprisonment for Public Protection - and although no new sentences have been handed down since they were scrapped in 2012, many prisoners are still serving them.
The BBC's Victoria Derbyshire has been speaking to Shaun Lloyd, who served three times his recommended prison sentence, and to April Ward, whose brother is serving ten years for a ten-month sentence.
