About the episode
The mental, physical and financial toll of one of Britain's worst miscarriages of justice has been revealed in a report on the years-long UK Post Office IT scandal. From 1999 to 2015, nearly 1,000 postal employees were wrongly prosecuted or convicted of criminal wrongdoing because of a faulty computer system. The inquiry has found at least 13 people may have taken their own lives as a result of the scandal.
