We Represent the Wrongfully Convicted

Georgia Innocence Project has helped free and exonerate 16 people who collectively spent hundreds of years behind bars for crimes they didn’t commit. Each year, we review hundreds of new requests for assistance, investigate compelling claims of innocence, and provide representation in dozens of active cases.

Cases of Wrongful Conviction are Shockingly Common

Studies estimate that 4% of people incarcerated in the United States are actually innocent of the crimes they were convicted for. In Georgia alone, there are an estimated 2,500 innocent people in prison.

Our Work is Made Possible With Support From Our Community

Overturning a wrongful conviction is never easy. Even with clear evidence of innocence, freedom can take years—or never come at all. But with your help, we can change that. Get involved today to support Georgia's innocent and help prevent future wrongful convictions.
