Shaun Lloyd and his mother Shirley Debono. A MUM whose son has spent 14 years in prison after stealing a phone in 2005 has begged Andy Burnham to free him instead of convicted killers. Shaun Lloyd, 38, was jailed for two years nine months for robbery in 2006. At the time he was made subject of an imprisonment for public protection (IPP) sentence ? court rulings made between 2005 and 2012 that ordered offenders deemed dangerous to serve indefinite prison terms. They were last week labelled inhumane by the UN. Mr Lloyd is one of more than 2,000 people still serving open-ended IPP punishments. His has been triggered five times to return him to custody. But as No.10 prepares to free convicted killers early from jail to ease a prison overcrowding crisis, his mum Shirley Debono (pictured with Mr Lloyd) told Metro: ?Forget about them, start by releasing these IPP prisoners instead.
