“…Further, the introduction of the IPP signalled a departure from the long-standing principle of proportionality in sentencing, in favour of sentencing based on potential, future risk (Prison Reform Trust, 2010). An IPP was available to sentence offenders who were convicted of a specified violent or sexual offence that were also deemed as 'serious offences' (Annison, 2014). Similar to a life sentence, in order for release to be granted, an offender must demonstrate reduced risk and satisfy the Parole Board they no longer pose a risk to society (Lauchlan, 2011).…”

There is now a growing body of literature which is centred upon the negative outcomes that occur for many families, and by extension, children who experience the imprisonment of a father. Typically families suffer the consequences of living with stigma and financial difficulties, while children are often affected by being provided with limited information about what has happened to their incarcerated parent. These factors can combine to increase the chances of children and family members in this position developing mental and physical health issues and other associated difficulties. Drawing on the findings from the lead author's research on the impact of Indeterminate Sentences of Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPPs) upon families, the authors will argue that for families where fathers are serving IPPs the potentially negative effects of parental incarceration are considerably magnified. With no definite release date there is an absence of hope, which can quickly lead to despair for IPP prisoners and their families. Since IPPs are reserved for those offenders who are deemed to pose the most potential risk to the public in the future there is inevitably an increased level of stigma that attaches to those prisoners who are subject to them, and by extension to their families. The prisoners themselves are often provided with limited information regarding the consequences for them of being subject to an IPP, which in turn means their families also have very little understanding of the gravity of their predicament. The evidence gathered suggested a worrying picture, as the nature of the IPP sentence resulted in a severely detrimental impact upon families and children; it will be argued here even more so than Life and determinate prison sentences.

The shift in the nature and effects of penal policymaking in the United Kingdom from the 1970s to the present day is a well-told tale, to the extent that it can effectively be told in a series of shorthand phrases: the 'fall of the Platonic guardians' (Loader, 2006); the 'rise of the public voice' (Ryan, 2004); and the increasing centrality of 'penal populism' (Pratt, 2007), leading to a penal arms race (Lacey, 2008) within a 'culture of control' (Garland, 2001). These criminological accounts tend to cast the majority of policymakers -or at least political actors -as cynical and non-reflexive about the effects of their policymaking efforts. Even those who do not cast 1 The research on which this chapter draws was supported by an Economic and Social Research Council 1+3 Studentship [grant ES/GO10307/1].
