I think I remember a local man being sentenced to 7 years 'preventive detention ' for a relatively minor crime.  Though it's fair to say he did have a record as long as your arm.

Would the people who drafted the latest version not have looked at the earlier one in order to avoid any glaring mistakes?

no -  not being a lawyer - the system didnt work so tinkering with bits wdnt ( didnt) do anything.

it is up with Post office and al-Fayed - why didnt someone DO something ?

 

 

What was the question?

The only indeterminate prison sentences available now are "Life" sentences. "Imprisonment for Public Peotection" sentences were abolished in 2012. However, the  abolition was not retrospective and I believe there are over 2,000 prisoners still serving them.
