We’re taught to believe that our justice system is fair. That it’s almost impossible for an innocent person to go to prison for a crime they didn't commit. But what if that isn’t the case? From teenagers jailed over group-chat messages, a former police officer alleging he’s been stitched up by colleagues, to four men claiming a corrupt undercover police sting led to their terrorism conviction, The Overturn brings their fight for justice to the forefront. Produced by Marnie Duke. Executive Producers are Jon Robins & Calum McRae. The series is supported by The Future Justice Project.

    "Fighting a miscarriage of justice is the most herculean task imaginable"

    In a bonus round-up episode, Marnie Duke talks to the human rights lawyer and criminal appeal specialists Glyn Maddocks KC  and Dr Jon Robins, executive producer on the series – and journalist and lecturer in criminology at Brighton University. They talk about where the stories covered in the series came from and why they are so difficult to resolve – if they ever are. They highlight the failures in the justice system and pay tribute to the heroism of campaigners who dedicate their lives to getting justice in a system where there so often is none. Glyn and Jon are directors of the Future Justice Project which sponsored the series.

    Introducing The Overturn

    We’re taught to believe that our justice system is fair. That everyone is equal in the eyes of the law. That it’s almost impossible for an innocent person to go to prison for a crime they didn't commit. But what if that isn’t the case?  These are the stories of people who maintain they’re innocent and yet remain in prison, fighting unimaginable odds to win justice in a system that – many would say – is rigged against them. This podcast tells the stories of those on the outside, fighting to free those on the inside. Welcome to The Overturn. Produced and hosted by Marnie Duke with support from The Future Justice Project.
