What immediate impact did the indefinite nature of Thomas White's IPP sentence have on his mental health, and what are the specific consequences of this?

Thomas White, imprisoned since 2012 under an Indeterminate Sentence for Public Protection (IPP) for theft, has been transferred to a mental health hospital after a six-year family campaign. His severe mental deterioration, diagnosed as paranoid schizophrenia, was directly linked by his family to the indefinite nature of his sentence and prolonged isolation. This transfer marks a critical turning point in his struggle for survival.
