WEBVTT - Season 2 - Teaser

0:00:01.440 --> 0:00:05.040
<v Speaker 1>California has the largest prison system in the United States.

0:00:05.440 --> 0:00:08.039
<v Speaker 1>The United States has the largest prison system in the world.

0:00:08.280 --> 0:00:10.280
<v Speaker 2>You have all the different gangs, and you have all

0:00:10.280 --> 0:00:13.720
<v Speaker 2>the different factions in each gang. It is so abnormal

0:00:13.920 --> 0:00:16.800
<v Speaker 2>for a human being to put under those conditions.

0:00:17.000 --> 0:00:20.960
<v Speaker 3>In some cases capital murder cases, just preventing a death

0:00:21.040 --> 0:00:24.520
<v Speaker 3>sentence and getting life without parole was a win, and

0:00:24.520 --> 0:00:26.799
<v Speaker 3>that was a win that I struggled to wrap my

0:00:26.840 --> 0:00:27.440
<v Speaker 3>head around.

0:00:27.720 --> 0:00:30.520
<v Speaker 4>A lot of people in society believed that we need

0:00:30.560 --> 0:00:33.360
<v Speaker 4>to throw away the key on the men and women

0:00:33.400 --> 0:00:36.600
<v Speaker 4>that go to prison. I may have been innocent, but

0:00:36.680 --> 0:00:39.360
<v Speaker 4>there are a lot of guilty people in prison that

0:00:39.400 --> 0:00:42.400
<v Speaker 4>are not the worst of the crime that they committed.

0:00:42.680 --> 0:00:44.080
<v Speaker 4>These people can be redeemed.

0:00:44.360 --> 0:00:46.599
<v Speaker 5>Our sentences have gotten so long that when we hear

0:00:46.640 --> 0:00:49.520
<v Speaker 5>somebody say, oh, we got five years, that's not bad,

0:00:49.760 --> 0:00:52.640
<v Speaker 5>think about how much happens in five years. We've lost

0:00:52.720 --> 0:00:54.240
<v Speaker 5>track of how long that is.

0:00:54.520 --> 0:00:56.279
<v Speaker 6>I mean, when they came and said that they were

0:00:56.400 --> 0:00:59.000
<v Speaker 6>charging me like that was so shocking to me because

0:00:59.080 --> 0:01:01.880
<v Speaker 6>I had been tragged to deceive him everything from the

0:01:02.040 --> 0:01:04.920
<v Speaker 6>day I met him till the day I lost him.

0:01:05.360 --> 0:01:06.559
<v Speaker 6>He's keeping him alive.

0:01:07.160 --> 0:01:10.360
<v Speaker 7>People just want justice so bad that they're willing to

0:01:10.440 --> 0:01:12.920
<v Speaker 7>accept everything at face value when they need to really

0:01:13.120 --> 0:01:15.679
<v Speaker 7>look deeper and really stand up when they hear about

0:01:15.720 --> 0:01:17.360
<v Speaker 7>an injustice that's happening.

0:01:17.120 --> 0:01:20.040
<v Speaker 8>When you're manipulated by a power and a justice system

0:01:20.160 --> 0:01:22.720
<v Speaker 8>that is supposed to be the last of the line,

0:01:22.840 --> 0:01:25.600
<v Speaker 8>is supposed to be the true sense of justice, the

0:01:25.600 --> 0:01:28.160
<v Speaker 8>true sense of what's going on, at least as closest

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:28.880
<v Speaker 8>we can get it.

0:01:29.160 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 9>I can forgive anybody that has been manipulated. I can't

0:01:32.080 --> 0:01:35.200
<v Speaker 9>forgive those that did the manipulating. And I always say

0:01:35.200 --> 0:01:38.679
<v Speaker 9>there's two naive positions. One naive position is that everyone

0:01:38.680 --> 0:01:41.639
<v Speaker 9>in prison is innocent. The other naive position is everyone

0:01:41.640 --> 0:01:44.720
<v Speaker 9>in prison is guilty. We're trying to figure out where

0:01:44.720 --> 0:01:45.920
<v Speaker 9>does that line end.

0:01:47.240 --> 0:01:49.760
<v Speaker 10>Last season on Sworn, we looked at some of the

0:01:49.800 --> 0:01:53.840
<v Speaker 10>crimes in cases that caught America's attention and highlighted serious

0:01:53.840 --> 0:01:57.200
<v Speaker 10>issues in our justice system. This season, we've got a

0:01:57.200 --> 0:02:01.400
<v Speaker 10>new approach. We're tackling the real problems in legal system directly.

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:05.840
<v Speaker 10>We're looking at things like faulty forensic science, false confessions,

0:02:05.840 --> 0:02:09.560
<v Speaker 10>and mandatory minimum prison sentences. Here are the stories of

0:02:09.600 --> 0:02:12.359
<v Speaker 10>innocent people who ended up behind bars and hear from

0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.280
<v Speaker 10>people who are fighting to fix these issues. Join us

0:02:16.480 --> 0:02:17.920
<v Speaker 10>this season on Sworn
