Exclusive: Campaigners say people are being sent back to jail in England and Wales ‘for no good reason’

• UN highlights ‘psychological harm’ to UK man jailed since 2012 for phone theft

The number of imprisonment for public protection (IPP) offenders who have been recalled to jail despite not being charged with a further offence has soared in recent years, accounting for almost three-quarters of returns last year.
