In Unlocking the Truth, season 1, episode 2, titled "Ain't No Change In The House Of Pain," hosts Ryan Ferguson and Eva Nagao continue to investigate cases of potential wrongful convictions. In this episode, they travel to Jessup, Maryland to look into the case of Davontae Sanford, who was convicted of a quadruple homicide at the age of 14.

Sanford, who is now 24 years old, has always maintained his innocence and claims that he was coerced into confessing by the police. Despite the fact that there was no physical evidence linking Sanford to the crime and that another man had already confessed, Sanford was found guilty and sentenced to 37-90 years in prison.

Ferguson and Nagao begin their investigation by meeting with Sanford's family and supporters, who have been fighting for his release for years. They also speak with Sanford himself, who is currently serving his sentence at a maximum-security facility in Michigan.

Throughout the episode, Ferguson and Nagao uncover a number of inconsistencies in the prosecution's case against Sanford. They speak with witnesses who claim that Sanford was not involved in the crime and show how the police coerced him into confessing by feeding him information about the crime.

As they continue to investigate, Ferguson and Nagao also highlight the larger systemic issues within the criminal justice system that led to Sanford's wrongful conviction. They highlight the disparity in resources and representation for indigent defendants and the pressure that police and prosecutors face to secure a conviction.

Ultimately, "Ain't No Change In The House Of Pain" is a powerful indictment of the criminal justice system and the ways in which it can fail innocent people. Ferguson and Nagao's investigation sheds light on a case that has been largely ignored by the media and highlights the importance of continued efforts to reform the system and prevent wrongful convictions.
