Our criminal justice system sometimes sends innocent people to prison. The After Innocence Campaign is a targeted, collaborative effort to educate the public and the media about the urgency of reducing wrongful convictions, and to strengthen the call for simple reforms in public policy, including compensation for the exonerated.
Join the filmmakers, the exonerated and their families, and the committed activists and attorneys featured in After Innocence in a new campaign to help restore dignity and justice to the lives of the exonerated.
"The greatest challenge facing the wrongfully imprisoned is rebuilding their lives. This is an area where your financial support can make a real difference."
Barry C. Scheck, esq.
Co-Director, Innocence Project
