Video Diaries: Ice-Cream Justice

on BBC Two England

Last in the series.

Thom Campbell was convicted in 1984 for six murders during the so-called "ice-cream wars' in Glasgow. Consistently protesting his innocence, he campaigned for a re-trial, going on hunger strike five times. After beatings by prison officers while he was in solitary confinement, he successfully took the authorities to the European Court. Finally, he was moved to Barlinnie Prison Special Unit. He and wife Liz have made this diary offering insights into life in the unit and their struggle for family unity.
