How Innocent Peope End Up in Prison

What causes miscarriages of justice? How do innocent people end up convicted of crimes they did not commit? And once mistakes are made, why can it take decades to correct them? In this video, we examine the deeper causes behind wrongful convictions in the UK criminal justice system, including disclosure failures, mistaken identification, false confessions, flawed forensic evidence, tunnel vision in investigations and institutional resistance within the appeals system itself. Through major cases including Sally Clark, Andrew Malkinson, Peter Sullivan and the Cardiff Three, we explore how miscarriages of justice are rarely caused by one dramatic mistake but instead emerge through a combination of systemic failures that reinforce one another until the system itself becomes convinced of guilt. We also examine: the role of the Criminal Cases Review Commission (CCRC), growing criticism of the Court of Appeal, recent developments in Hayes & Palombo, proposed Law Commission reforms, and whether artificial intelligence could help prevent future wrongful convictions. Because justice is not measured only by the punishment of the guilty but also by the protection of the innocent.
