Innocence Network
The Innocence Network is an affiliation of organizations dedicated to providing pro bono legal and investigative services to individuals seeking to prove innocence of crimes for which they have been convicted and working to redress the causes of wrongful convictions.[1] Most organizations involved are in the United States, covering all 50 states; however, the network includes organizations in Canada, Australia, and the UK.[2]
In 2013, the work of Innocence Network member organizations led to the exoneration of 31 people imprisoned for crimes they did not commit.[3]
