Recommendation 10

10 Paragraph: 104

Indefinite licence periods detrimentally affect IPP offenders' mental health and rehabilitation

Conclusion
Spending an indefinite period of time on licence in the community is detrimental to the mental health and rehabilitation of IPP offenders, and in many cases is not proportionate to the index offence. We welcome the introduction of automatic referral by the Secretary of State for licence termination at the 10-year point. We would welcome regular updates on the number of IPP offenders whose licence is terminated as a result of this mechanism.
