Firstly I want to thank Lucy and Harriet for there excellent work to help not only get me off this nightmare of a sentence, but also getting me re released on recalls. Harriet had to write a report on such short notice ( probation not doing there job ) as I had hit the 10 year mark. Against the backing of probation, Harriet nailed the report and my licence was terminated. Together they made sure an IPP prisoner was not lost. Thank you so so much, from the bottom of my heart.
