1: The Last Resort
Imagine spending years on death row for a crime you didn’t commit.
For people falsely convicted, they face the unfathomable reality of a lifetime behind bars.
The Manchester Innocence Project tries to free such people.
Based at The University of Manchester, it’s a pro bono organisation run by law academics and students. But the cases they take aren’t easy… a letter to the Manchester Innocence Project is the very last resort for most inmates.
In The Innocence Podcast, Kylie Pentelow speaks to the people at the forefront of a rapidly growing movement to overturn false convictions.
