6 DEC 2017 —" Sam Gyimah tweeted this yesterday and deleted it after people were outraged. He decided to mock the system and read Harry Potter mocking people like me fighting the injustice of ipp and also you the tax payer. Outrageous behaviour by the prisons Minster".
An extract from Shirley Debono`s campaign to get IPP sentences completely abolished.
With attitudes like this its going to be hard going.

Well, the criminal justice system has been like an arms race for decades, and nobody would ever want to be open to accusations of being "soft on crime". As a result, some of them over-compensate to be on the safe side. I remember one of his MoJ colleagues saying that the current rehabilitation law is just fine, thank you very much, so there is no way they will want to make any changes unless a court forces them to. I wish other parties could offer any hope, but having met an MP who was visiting prison while I was inside, I'm not holding my breath.
