Guadalajara. Mexico's city of churches. A wonder of colonial architecture and a must see for tourists. But for Canadian Brenda Martin, it's a personal hell. She's spent two years in jail here without ever having been convicted of a crime. There's little evidence to suggest she's guilty. Yet her pleas have been virtually ignored by Canadian officials. W-FIVE negotiated with Mexican authorities and was able to obtain an exclusive on-camera interview in the prison where Brenda is being held. Two years after her arrest, Brenda Martin remains in jail and still has not been convicted of any crime.
