Anthony Hinton spent 28 years on death row in the United States after being falsely convicted of a double murder in the state of Alabama in 1985. He was finally released in 2015 and is now a community educator at the Equal Justice Initiative.\r\n\r\nHinton’s case is not an outlier; at least five percent of the prison population is wrongly convicted. This means that about one in every 20 judgements puts an innocent person behind bars - more often than not a person of colour.\r\n\r\nOn UpFront, Marc Lamont Hill is joined by advocate and author Anthony Hinton for a look at the flaws in the system that lead to thousands of wrongful convictions.\r\n\r\nSubscribe to our channel  http://bit.ly/AJSubscribe\r\nFollow us on Twitter https://twitter.com/AJEnglish\r\nFind us on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/aljazeera\r\nCheck our website:  http://www.aljazeera.com/\r\nCheck out our Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/aljazeeraenglish/\r\n\r\n@AljazeeraEnglish\r\n#Aljazeeraenglish\r\n#News
