At least 13 may have killed themselves over UK Post Office wrongful convictions

How can this happen over a thousand times without raising eyebrows? I can just imagine top managers noticing this and looking the other way to save their asses. Nobody wants to be the one who gets associated with such a scandal and ostracized for it. The fact that a documentation is often the only way to get heard is alarming.

It's enough to notice shortcomings and just not investigating further due to being perceived as complicated.

How can we build companies that incentivizes whistle-blowing the right(morally/legally correct?) way?

No one ever holds the legal community to account.

All the finger pointing is at Royal Mail and Fujitsu. None at the lawyers and judges involved.

The judicicial system is a mess and incompetence and bias is systemic, but the mainstream UK press know better than to challenge it.
