Scotsman Kenny Richey had just one hour to go before they strapped him in the electric chair and pulled the lever. He knew he was innocent but for years nobody would listen to him. Now they were shaving his head…
Remember our 2006-2007 series on Pontonville and the 120 who were hanged there? Response was so positive that we’ve put together a new series on Wandsworth Prison. It begins with a curtain-raiser bringing you the case of the first man hanged at the South London prison and it will be followed over the months to come with a further 134 case histories of the men (and one woman) who went to Wandsworth’s gallows between 1878 and 1961.
Don’t miss Francesca Morrison’s masterful telling of the full, horrific story of Mary Bell, or the astonishing, star-studded saga of career criminal Owney Madden.
