The Prison System

Scheck, Barry, Peter Neufeld, and Jim Dwyer. Actual Innocence: Five Days to Execution and Other Dispatches the Wrongly Convicted. Doubleday, 2000.

Attorneys explain how criminal defendants are wrongly convicted on a regular basis. The book offers an explanation of DNA testing and how it works to free the innocent, critiques police and prosecutorial misconduct, and calls for criminal justice reform.
