IPP sentencing regime in England and Wales called 'deeply harmful' (The Guardian, link):
"The imprisonment for public protection (IPP) sentence, scrapped in 2012, was a form of indeterminate sentence in which offenders were given a minimum jail tariff but no maximum for a range of crimes.
Those given an IPP sentence are placed on licence indefinitely after release, and are only eligible to have their licence removed after 10 years."
