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?

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.
