Our Work
The Innocence Project works to free the innocent, prevent wrongful convictions, and create fair, compassionate, and equitable systems of justice for everyone. Our work is guided by science and grounded in anti-racism.

Restoring
Freedom
We use DNA and other scientific advancements to prove innocence, and we are committed to helping each person we represent rebuild their life post-release.
