How a 2.5 year prison sentence could mean life behind bars


More than 3000 people are still serving indeterminate prison sentences in England and Wales with no release date, even though IPPs - Imprisonment for Public Protection - were abolished five years ago. Dame Glenys Stacey tells Mishal Husain: "The Government is urgently looking at what to do about this, they need to consider the license arrangements for these people." She adds: "A good number of them have been convicted for extremely serious offences...and it does mean they do pose a risk when they are released." (Image: Prison Cell Credit: Getty Images)
