The Georgia Innocence Project is a non-profit organization based in Atlanta, 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, they have successfully freed and exonerated 14 individuals who collectively spent hundreds of years behind bars. Through their rigorous investigation and limited representation in active cases, they strive to create safeguards to prevent future errors and ensure a fair criminal justice system. Supported by sponsorships from organizations that share their mission, the Georgia Innocence Project relies on community support to make their work possible. Recognizing the shocking prevalence of wrongful convictions, with studies estimating that 4% of incarcerated individuals in the United States are innocent, they actively review hundreds of new requests for assistance each year. Their dedication to uncovering compelling claims of innocence and providing legal representation to those in need is crucial in their pursuit of justice and the fight against wrongful convictions.Generated from the website
