Chapter 1: Getting Wrongfully Convicted (Voices of the Innocent 2022)

Hear from people reflecting on the devastation of being wrongfully convicted and losing both their freedom and their faith in the criminal legal system, as well as the struggle to maintain hope during the long fight for justice. Be sure to watch all FIVE chapters of the "Journey to Freedom" on our YouTube Channel.

When you think of our work, you may imagine that iconic moment when an innocent person walks out of prison, raising their hands in the air in celebration of their first breath of freedom after the injustice of a wrongful conviction. We live for moments like these, but we know they are only one small part of a long and arduous journey, one that starts years or even decades before and doesn’t end on the courthouse steps, but continues for a lifetime.
