Two men released after 20 years

Two men serving indefinite sentences for public protection were released after about twenty years in custody, despite their original minimum terms being two years or less. Their cases were reviewed following a criminal justice review commission, leading to their sentences being replaced with fixed terms and the indefinite sentences being canceled. The ruling reflects efforts to address concerns over the fairness of the original sentences and the ongoing use of IPP sentences, which were abolished in 2012 but still affect prisoners.
