See After Innocence (free on YouTube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZWyaolBlXVc) for a disturbing portrayal of wrongful convictions in the United States.

The men exonerated by the Innocence Project (99% proven wrongfully convicted are men) serve an average of thirteen years before exoneration, sometimes years after the exoneration happens.

The documentary shows prosecutors keeping people in prison, and therefore guilty people free, with impunity.
