The Post Office scandal in Barrow
It's been described as the biggest miscarriage of justice in British legal history.
Hundreds of subpostmasters were falsely accused of theft and fraud due to a faulty IT system called Horizon. Some went to prison, some were even driven to suicide.
Now the scandal is back in the spotlight with the new ITV drama "Mr Bates Vs The Post Office".
The failings of that IT system destroyed lives all over the country, including here in Cumbria.
