About

GEORGIA INNOCENCE PROJECT (GIP) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping individuals who have been convicted of crimes they did not commit. The Project works to secure post-conviction DNA testing for people incarcerated in Georgia where DNA analysis could prove guilt or innocence and adequate DNA testing was not available at trial.
