Innocence Project of New Orleans
The Innocence Project New Orleans (IPNO) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to representing individuals who are wrongfully convicted or receive unjust sentences in Louisiana. Since its inception in 2001, IPNO has successfully freed or exonerated 47 innocent people and 28 others unfairly sentenced, while advocating for systemic change to address the root causes of wrongful convictions, primarily systemic racism and social inequities.
IPNO highlights the significant issue of wrongful convictions, particularly emphasizing the role of mistaken eyewitness identifications that lead to incorrect sentencing. Through community engagement, legal representation, and support for the reintegration of freed individuals, IPNO aims to generate awareness and foster advocacy for change within the criminal justice system.
