The type of sentence a prisoner was serving 'may have played some part' in his decision to take his own life, a watchdog has said after an investigation.
John Winchcole - who the watchdog's report said 'did not have any idea how long he might remain in prison' - received an indeterminate sentence for public protection (IPP) in 2008. The controversial sentences were introduced in 2005, intended for criminals considered 'dangerous' and persistent, but whose offences did not merit a life sentence.
They were abolished in 2012 but have left a legacy of prisoners who, even when they have stayed out of trouble for years, can be recalled to jail.

Mr Winchcole had been released from prison on licence but was recalled in April 2018 and returned to HMP Forest Bank in Pendlebury, Salford, after being suspected of committing further offences.
The 36-year-old was found unresponsive in his cell as an officer unlocked his door on September 10, 2018. A post-mortem examination found he died as a result of hanging and less than a month earlier, the Parole Board told him he was staying behind bars.
A week-long inquest into his death concluded at Bolton Coroners' Court last month, where a jury ruled he took his own life. Following the inquest, a report was published today by the Prisons and Probation Ombudsman (PPO), which investigates deaths in custody.
It said Mr Winchole received the IPP sentence in 2008 for 'various offences including robbery, aggravated burglary and driving offences'. It meant he was required to remain in prison until the Parole Board was satisfied that he no longer posed a threat to the public.
He was released on licence in July 2017 but his licence
