A man who was jailed with a minimum sentence of 18 months is still in prison 18 years later for robbery and a fight he was involved in as a teenager.
Luke Ings, aged 36, was handed an Imprisonment for Public Protection (IPP) sentence for street robbery and a fight in McDonald’s when he was 17.
IPP sentences, in force in the UK between 2005 and 2012, were intended for offenders who had committed serious crimes and posed a significant risk to society.
