Description

Witness to Innocence challenges the American public to confront the fatally flawed criminal justice system that wrongfully sentences innocent people to death row. To achieve this mission, they conduct public education through a national speakers bureau and nationwide media campaign. Through their efforts, they shed light on the devastating impact of wrongful capital convictions on the lives of those affected. Additionally, WTI seeks ways to support these individuals in rebuilding their lives after exoneration.
