August 26, 2011 03:08 pm

Ada Derana looks into the life of P. Jamis who spent nearly 50 years of his life shifting from remand cells to psychiatric wards with no conviction. Forgotten by the legal system, Jamis spent his youth confined within high walls with no one to plead his case to until his release in 2008. Now he shares his extraordinary tale with Ada Derana in this exclusive documentary.

Now join presenter Prianil Abeynaike as she delves into the life of a man who was charged with a crime he claims not to have committed, was imprisoned without conviction and was forgotten by a flawed legal system which condemned him to a life of decay for nearly half a century.
