Crime and Punishment
A series examining the breadth of the Criminal Justice system, taking a look at each institution from the inside, to understand why a system that was once the envy of the world, is in crisis.
Filmed over two years, access was gained to the MOJ, Police, the CPS, Defence Lawyers, Probation Services, The Parole board and HMP Winchester. The series (with more episodes to come) focuses on the impact of funding cuts, the ensuing dilemmas within each institution, and how successive governments and a decade of cuts and botched reforms, have failed the system.
Each episode tells intimate stories of those caught up in the system and innovative use of archive gives the narratives historical context.
