Innocent Behind Bars

Cases of wrongful conviction continue to haunt the justice system, leaving countless people to lose decades of their lives and sometimes their very existence behind bars. This series offers an intimate portrayal of what it truly means to be wrongfully convicted, revealing the long-lasting impact that persists long after the prison gates open. Each episode follows the harrowing story of someone convicted for a crime they did not commit. In their own words, they share the heartbreak and resilience of fighting for the truth. With the support of family, friends, and legal experts, the original crime and trial are re-examined to uncover the flaws, falsehoods, and bias that led to the conviction. From being in the wrong place at the wrong time to racial prejudice or inadequate defence, the series exposes the injustices that ruined lives. Through archive footage, police reports, and court documents, we trace the long battle to prove innocence and reveal how exoneration, while powerful, cannot fully repair the damage done. Embark on an eye-opening journey of persistence, hope, and the search for justice with Innocent Behind Bars.
