Washington Innocence Project


  • About Us

    Washington Innocence Project fights for innocent people across the state of Washington who have been wrongfully convicted and incarcerated by representing them in the courts, supporting them as they rebuild their lives in freedom, and advocating for policy reforms to identify, rectify, and prevent these injustices in the future. Through our advocacy, three state laws have been enacted to support our mission. Twenty-four innocent men and women are living free because of our work, 15 of whom have been exonerated and fully cleared of charges. Collectively they served more than 100 years in prison for crimes they did not commit.
