Interrogation is a widely controversial issue in American criminal justice. From black sites to the room in which people are questioned, the issue is multi-faceted in every sense of the word. Because it is such a complex issue and a complex process for all involved, wrongful convictions and coerced confessions are extremely common.
One might think that the U.S. Constitution and Miranda Warnings, among other things, would protect someone from making a wrongful confession or testifying against themself. However, law enforcement has found ways and “loopholes” to go around these restrictions, or worse, just ignore them.
