A groundbreaking expose of how our legal system?makes it nearly impossible to overturn wrongful convictions.

Thousands of innocent people are behind bars?in the United States. But?proving their?innocence and winning their release is nearly impossible.

In?Barred, legal scholar Daniel?Medwed?argues that our justice system's stringent procedural rules are largely to blame?for the ongoing punishment of the innocent.?Those rules guarantee criminal defendants?just one opportunity?to appeal their convictions directly to a higher court.?Afterward, the?wrongfully convicted can pursue only a few narrow remedies. Even when there is strong evidence of a miscarriage of justice, rigid guidelines, bias, and deference toward lower courts all too often prevent exoneration.

Offering clear explanations of legal procedures alongside heart-wrenching stories of their devastating impact, Barred?exposes how the system is stacked against the innocent?and makes a powerful call for change.?
