Abstract

This talk explores on an evaluation of restorative practices implemented with men serving Indeterminate Public Protection (IPP) sentences in a high-security prison context. Although IPP orders were abolished in 2012, over 2,500 individuals remain incarcerated under these sentences (HMPPS, 2024), with the United Nations describing their ongoing detention as a violation of human rights. Against this backdrop, the project sought to explore how restorative justice (RJ) and restorative practice (RP) can support personal development, relational repair, and cultural change within prison environments marked by risk, complexity, and entrenched hopelessness.
