Problems For Prisoners Maintaining Innocence

Life sentenced prisoners maintaining innocence are, generally, unable to progress through the prison system,
with a view to consideration for parole, as they refuse to acknowledge their crimes (because they maintain
innocence), which the system considers an essential pre-requisite for rehabilitation. So they are faced with
the impossible decision of admitting to the crime, in the hope of release, or continuing to maintain innocence,
knowing that they may never come out of prison as a result.
