Recommendation 22
22
Large-scale resentencing for IPP prisoners, despite complexity, urgently requires action from all state branches.
Recommendation
We do not underestimate the complexity of undertaking a large-scale resentencing exercise for IPP prisoners. It would require careful thought, significant planning, and sufficient resource. However, the potential difficulties do not justify failing to grasp the nettle. All three branches of the state—the Government, Parliament, and the judiciary—must now rise to the challenge.
