For a number of years, the Independent Monitoring Board (IMB) at HMP Send has expressed concern over the injustice of imprisonment for public protection (IPP) sentences. In its annual report for 2023-24 (published today, 27 September 2024), the Board highlights one IPP prisoner who has served 14 years over their original tariff of two and a half years. The Board believes that the continued detention, and repeated recalls of IPP prisoners for what the Board considers to be relatively small breaches of licence conditions, is both unfair and inhumane.

For several years the Independent Monitoring Board at HMP Send has highlighted the lack of IT provision at the prison, so the continued dearth of digital technology at Send remains a significant concern. The Board’s latest annual report can only conclude that the prison is failing to prepare prisoners for life in a digital society.
