Published in April 2002, only a few months after Stephen Downing's conviction was quashed by the court of appeal, this account by Don Hale of his battle to find the evidence to prove Stephen's innocence is absolutely riveting. A highly recommended book.

Paddy Joe Hill was one of the men who went on to become known as the Birmingham Six. This 1995 book is his account of the men's arrest for the Birmingham pub-bombings and their treatment at the hands of police officers and prison warders in the days afterwards, as well as their trial and 16-year imprisonment before their successful appeal in 1991.

An extract from the book - Chapter 13: Welcome to Winson - is Paddy Joe's account of his arrival and reception at Birmingham's Winson Green prison on remand after his arrest.

This account of the Birmingham Six case was first published in 1986 (before the men's unsuccessful 1987 appeal); the updated version was published shortly before the successful 1991 appeal. The first half of the book covers in graphic detail the manner in which 'confessions' were extracted by the police from some of the men and their treatment on remand in Birmingham's Winson Green prison.

This 1997 book has to be the definitive work on the Hanratty case in the meantime. Bob Woffinden discovered new evidence for his TV documentary, Hanratty - The Mystery of Deadman's Hill, and later made a submission to the Home Office that the case be referred to the court of appeal. Whilst researching this book he was allowed access to previously unavailable documents, allowing him to piece together all the evidence in the case. With an indispensable chronology and a detailed index!

A fascinating account of Derek Bentley's short life by his sister Iris, ghosted with Penelope Dening. This 1995 book is notable for its evocative portrayal of their childhood in war-torn London, and the terrible events that led to the trial of Derek and Christopher Craig for the murder of a policeman.

It presents new evidence following the refusal of a pardon for Bentley in 1992 by Kenneth Clarke, the then Home Secretary.
