GET INVOLVED
The best thing you can do to help those affected by the IPP is let your MP know that you care. We believe public pressure is the best way to get change. There are
lots of other things you can do too. Read about them below.

2. WRITE YOUR LETTER!
We recommend saying four things:
1. What the IPP sentence is (see our summary)
2. Why you think its wrong (see our 10 reasons)
3. What you would like them to do about it (see our campaign goals)
4. Any personal experience you have, as a person serving an IPP sentence, a loved one, or a professional
Not sure what to say? We recommend using our template letters below.
The letters are structured around our campaign goals, but we believe everybody should make up their own mind about what they believe should happen to the IPP sentence. Read our analysis of the options for change, and if you are not sure about our campaign goals yet, adapt the letter to reflect your views.
Read our blog post about why it's important to write to your MP about the Sentencing Bill.
