About the show

One Minute Remaining is a true crime and prison podcast featuring firsthand stories from inmates serving lengthy sentences inside prisons across the United States.

From murder and attempted murder to robbery, arson and claims of wrongful conviction, these are criminal cases told from behind prison walls. Each case looks at the crime, the evidence and how the person came to be incarcerated, while hearing directly from them.

Some maintain their innocence. Others admit exactly what they did. The purpose isn't to prove anyone innocent or guilty. It's to hear their account, examine the case against them, and let you make up your own mind.
