Nonprofit Overview

Mission: Georgia Innocence Project’s mission is to correct and prevent wrongful convictions in Georgia and to assist clients freed from wrongful incarceration. Georgia Innocence Project fights wrongful convictions holistically through legal representation, community education, advocating for policy reform, providing re-entry support, and working in partnership with those most directly impacted.
Target demographics: Studies estimate roughly 5% of people incarcerated in prison are factually innocent, which is at least 2,500 people in Georgia alone. Georgia Innocence Project is the only organization in the state working to free and support innocent Georgians who were wrongfully convicted and serving sentences for crimes they did not commit.
Geographic areas served: Georgia
Programs: Working holistically, we investigate and litigate cases to free and exonerate wrongfully convicted, innocent individuals; we provide critical reentry and recovery support services to people freed from wrongful imprisonment; and through our education and policy reform efforts, we work to more efficiently prevent, correct, and remedy wrongful convictions system-wide.
