  • Tragically brilliant!

    This podcast series is a ‘must listen’ for anyone who looks at other countries and is smug about our own justice system. IPP sentences are massively unjust and are tragic for all those affected by the indeterminate sentence. Beyond that, they are a discredit to our nation and bear witness to the cowardice of many political actors who fail to right a blatant wrong. How is that justice?
