Judges Express Regret Over Indefinite Sentences

Senior UK judges have publicly expressed remorse for imposing indeterminate prison sentences before they were abolished in 2012. These sentences left thousands incarcerated for minor offences without a release date.

More than 2,500 inmates remain imprisoned under these terms, sparking renewed calls for reform. Legal experts are urging the Ministry of Justice to act swiftly to address what many now view as a systemic failure.
