BBC One
on BBC One London

A series which takes up the cause of people fighting for a fair deal.
Magnus Magnusson examines The Case of the Innocent Prisoner

Andrew Steele was convicted this year of two house-breaking offences. He spent six weeks in prison before his trial and two weeks in prison after his conviction. He was released after another man confessed to the crimes. How many innocent people are held in prison every year? And why is there no system for compensating them?
