Unprecedented Access Inside an Interrogation Room (Enhanced DVD)
Product Description:
It's a tiny room with minimal furniture. Non-descript and cramped. For many, this is the first step towards a long legal battle, and the last place they ever want to be. In this in-depth look into what goes on in interrogation rooms, we learn there is far more that happens than what we see on television. This is a high stakes psychological game for both investigators and suspects.
Detective Brian Harris takes us deep into the world of criminal interrogation with three complicated homicide cases. Even before the interrogations start, he's set up the interrogation room to give himself an advantage. Often times suspects give themselves away even if they don't utter a word, so Harris makes sure to pay attention to nonverbal cues and gestures. His most helpful skill, however, is getting inside a suspect's mind.
Unprecedented Access Inside an Interrogation Room really lives up to its name. Alongside cases of successful interrogations, ABC presents cases of false confessions gained under duress as well as the use of coercive techniques that have landed many police departments in hot water. This is an excellent resource those with an interest in criminal justice.

Customer Reviews
The room has been completely stripped of all decoration, and it is small and soundproofed. Two chairs in the room face each other in quiet hostility. This is the only equipment necessary for the upcoming game: a high stakes interrogation between a detective and a criminal suspect. This ABC News program offers a unique and rare look into the inner workings of the Houston Police Department’s homicide division. It gives an overview of the tactics that are used in order to get suspects to talk.
Chris Cuomo reports on investigations involving murder in which Sgt. Brian Harris, one of the leading investigators in the department, is able to get confessions from resistant suspects. When discussing coercive interrogation techniques, Sgt. Harris dismisses them and says that building a rapport and an environment of trust and human dignity is much more effective. This program is a must view for any criminal justice student! (40 minutes)
Segments in this video include:
Inside “The Box” – Brian Harris – Homicide detective Brian Harris explains and teaches his interrogation technique at the HPD Academy and to other police departments throughout the United Statas. Harris’s technique is effective because he treats suspects with human dignity.
Introduction to the Cases – Viewers get an overview of three cases. A look inside the interrogation room shows Sgt. Harris at work. Some of the cases include a gang killing, an estranged husband committing a murder, and four students’ death.
Preparing for Interrogation – Harris makes sure that “the box” is set up before an interview in order to give him a psychological edge. He offers food to suspects as soon as they come into the room as an experiment. They find that suspects who are guilty are more quickly to waive their Miranda Rights.
