  Yep. Imagine you are a poor, young black man and have been given an overworked public defender who has no time to put together even the most basic defence. You are innocent, but have been found guilty. Do you want to be left to rot in jail for the rest of your life with zero outside support or given a death sentence and have a huge amount of legal effort put into overturning your conviction? There are tens of thousands of people serving life sentences getting zero legal support and quite a few of them are innocent.
