Nicholas Bidar was sentenced to an indefinite sentence with an eight-year minimum tariff in 2009 for a string of robberies and firing a gun at police officers while resisting arrest, but has remained in prison.
A prisoner serving an indefinite jail term - a type of sentence abolished more than a decade ago - has described his continued detainment as 'hell', as he bids for his release. Nicholas Bidar, 36, is one of thousands of offenders still behind bars years beyond their minimum tariff after being handed Imprisonment for Public Protection sentences.
' Asked at what point he made the decision to discharge a firearm at police officers, Bidar replied: 'I wanted to scare them to stop them chasing us. I fired it - not at them, just to scare them off.' However, giving evidence on Monday, a prison offender manager said they thought Bidar did not meet the test for release or for being moved to an open prison.

Prisoner's sentence type may have influenced suicide, watchdog saysA watchdog has stated that the type of sentence a prisoner was serving might have played a role in his decision to take his own life. The prisoner, John Winchcole, received an indeterminate sentence for public protection (IPP) in 2008. The controversial IPP sentences were introduced in 2005 for 'dangerous' and persistent criminals. Although abolished in 2012, they have left a legacy of prisoners who can be recalled to jail even after staying out of trouble for years. Mr Winchcole, who had been released on licence, was recalled in April 2018 and found unresponsive in his cell in September 2018.
