One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

Host: Jack Laurence

In 'One Minute Remaining' I speak with inmates serving lengthy prison sentences for a range of different crimes. From arson to robbery, attempted murder and even murder itself and everything in between.I'm not here to try and prove them innocent or guilty, what I am here to do is allow them the chance to tell their stories. We'll look at the case's against them and allow them to tell us their accounts of the events that lead up to their incarceration.Join the OMR Family and help support the show in a way that suits you, plus get bonus...
