New Zealanders love true crime. But real life isn’t that straightforward. True Justice is a five-part podcast series that shares the stories of those who have been through our prisons, and advocates for a more just justice system in Aotearoa.

“Going to prison was like disappearing. It was just about becoming nothing. You're not going to get positive out of that, like, you can't put negative into something and expect to draw something positive out of that” - Jamie, Episode 5, True Justice.

True Justice is hosted by Ana Chaya Scotney, a Tūhoe / Jewish actor and musician (Cousins, the Breaker-Upperers) and Tommy Doran, a criminology student who spent time in prison as a young methamphetamine addict.

It was produced by justice advocacy group JustSpeak, and award-winning podcast company Popsock Media (The Lake, The Magpie House), and is published on Re: News.
