How the Police Get People to Confess | Police Interrogation Technique Documentary

In America, nearly 30% of those exonerated by DNA tests had previously confessed. This method of slowly building pressure often made it seem that admitting guilt was the easiest way out. But now, a number of police forces are abandoning the Reid technique because of the risk of generating false confessions.

Why would someone confess to a crime they didn’t commit? The 'Reid Technique' has been the favoured way of interrogating suspects for the past 50 years, but the evidence is mounting that its extracted confessions are often false.

In the darkness of the interrogation room, cut off from the world and terrified by police officers, they finally said what the interrogators wanted to hear… the moment their lives changed forever.
We hear from the men and women who have spent more than 20 years in prison for crimes they did not commit.

This documentary was produced by Premiere Lignes and directed by Laurent Richard. It was first released in 2018.
