The Georgia Innocence Project is a non-profit organization based in Decatur, GA, dedicated to overturning wrongful convictions and advocating for the release of innocent individuals who have been imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. With a mission to seek justice for the imprisoned innocent and prevent future errors, they have successfully freed and exonerated 14 people who collectively spent hundreds of years behind bars. Through their rigorous investigation and limited representation in active cases, they strive to make a significant impact in the fight against wrongful conviction.
Supported by sponsorships from organizations that share their mission, the Georgia Innocence Project relies on the support of the community to carry out their work. Recognizing the shocking prevalence of wrongful convictions, with studies estimating that 4% of incarcerated individuals in the United States are innocent, they work tirelessly to review new requests for assistance and investigate compelling claims of innocence. By providing a platform for the voices of the wrongfully convicted, they aim to create safeguards and bring about systemic change in the criminal justice system.
