false confession reform

False confession reform involves changing policies and procedures to reduce the likelihood of innocent people admitting to crimes they didn’t commit. This includes implementing better interrogation methods, recording interrogations in full, providing legal safeguards, and training officials to recognize coercive tactics. The goal is to ensure confessions are voluntary, reliable, and based on facts, thereby preventing wrongful convictions due to deceptive or pressured confessions. These reforms aim to strengthen the justice system’s integrity and protect individuals from unjust punishment.
