Back in 2003, David Blunkett, then Labour home secretary, introduced imprisonment for public protection sentences - an indefinite jail term that Thomas White was hit with after stealing a mobile phone.
The family of a man jailed indefinitely have enlisted the help of the former home secretary who created the type of sentence he was given. Thomas White, 40, was given a two-year minimum jail sentence under an IPP, an Imprisonment for Public Protection, back in 2012 for stealing a mobile phone. The sentence was handed down four months before IPP sentences, first brought in by David Blunkett, were abolished, and 12 years later Mr White has no idea if he'll ever be let out of prison.
Lord Blunkett, who introduced IPPs back in 2003, since admitted he 'got it wrong' and urged the sitting government to rectify his mistake as he supports the family in their push to get Mr White transferred to a hospital. Clara told Sky News she was living through an unending 'nightmare' and feared her brother would take his own life in prison. She added: 'It's still so overwhelming.
