Why does it take so long for someone to prove their innocence?  

Criminal defence solicitor and former head of the legal charity, APPEAL, Suzanne Gower explains why there are so many people in prison now who are not guilty.  

Suzanne talks about her own experience of trying to free people who are wrongly behind bars.

She talks about why the justice system fails them and how urgent changes need to be made.

She has helped free numerous high profile people including Andrew Malkinson who was freed from prison after he served 17 years for a wrongful rape conviction.
