Indeterminate sentence
Tommy Nicol was
the 67th man to have killed himself
while serving an
indeterminate sentence.

The Guardian
Tommy Nicol was
kind and friendly – a beloved brother.
Why did he die in
prison on a ‘99-year’ sentence?
His sister says
the only person he
ever presented a serious threat to was himself,
yet he was given
an indeterminate sentence for stealing a car.
The psychological
torture was impossible to endure
