Behind the scenes of a criminal investigation with Inside Justice: Preston

Access Unlocked - a free immersive true crime event led by forensic expert Jo Millington and intelligence analyst Sam Robins.

Have you ever wondered what it must feel like to serve a prison sentence for a crime you did not commit?
Inside Justice and the Shoosmiths Foundation invite you to their ground-breaking Access Unlocked event, to take you behind the scenes of a criminal investigation.

Led by Jo and Sam and a team of experts who are featured in programmes such as Conviction – Murder at the Station and Murder in Suburbia on Netflix, and Wrongly Accused on iTV.
