Five inmates currently serving indefinite sentences have been selected for referal to the Court of Appeal. The decision follows a recent policy review that identified cases where prisoners remain in the system under an indefinite framework, a regime that typically provides the court with discretion to extend or modify sentences based on behaviour, risk assessment and rehabilitation progress. The list of individuals includes those whose convictions involve serious offences and who have not previously been subject to a final sentencing decision, thereby necessitating a formal appellate review to determine the appropriate length and conditions of continued imprisonment or to explore alternative measures. _2_ New Incarceration Policy Project (IPP) sentences were abolished in 2012; however, the legacy of these reforms is evident today, as approximately 2,800 individuals are still governed by provisions that were originally intended to deliver more flexible sentencing outcomes. The continued application of the IPP framework serves as a technical tool for courts to adjust sentences in response to evolving legal standards and rehabilitation outcomes while maintaining the legal authority to impose indefinite terms until a definitive resolution is reached. The transition from IPP to more contemporary sentencing models has been gradual, with many practitioners citing administrative and procedural challenges as key factors in the persistence of the older system. _3_ The forthcoming proceedings at the Court of Appeal will address the five identified cases, offering a platform for the court to evaluate the adequacy of current sentences and to adapt them in line with contemporary standards for criminal justice and public protection. The outcome will likely set a precedent for how underreview indefinite sentences are handled across the broader judicial system. The appellate decision will be made public following the hearing, and will provide clarity for ongoing sentence management strategies within the broader correctional framework.
