The coroner's concerns
1. ongoing IPP sentence
“serious concerns about the welfare of individuals who remain subject to IPP sentences”
2. uncertainty of IPP sentence
“clear impact that the on-going IPP sentence had had on Mr [name redacted]”
3. lack of welfare support for IPP individuals
“on-going wellbeing of those serving IPP sentences, be that in prison estate or in the community, is a matter of concern to me as a Coroner.”
