THE IPP MEDIA ARCHIVE

TWO DECADES ON THE PUBLIC RECORD

2005–PRESENT

The IPP sentence has survived in the shadows for more than twenty years. This archive brings together news reporting, investigations, features, broadcasts, podcasts and specialist commentary that have exposed its human cost—from the sentence coming into force in 2005 to the campaign for complete retrospective abolition today. Browse the archive by year. Every link opens the original publisher or broadcaster. Inclusion records the public conversation and does not imply endorsement of every viewpoint. Some older items may sit behind a paywall or have limited accessibility.

333 records catalogued · 2005–2026 · Last checked 3 September 2026

Content note: some reports discuss self-harm, suicide, mental illness, violence and bereavement.
