Have you ever wondered what it would be like to be accused of a crime that you didn't commit, and then, to even be convicted of that crime? This does happen to people, people who are currently serving time for something they did not do.
Here is a project that assists and even helps to exonerate these people: The Innocence Project
On this website you will meet some of the people who have been imprisoned for years and have been exonerated because of this project. You will learn the cases, the legal reasons and flaws in the justice system as to why the mistake was made, and how the system could be "fixed" to prevent this from happening to other innocent people and wrongful convictions.
You can even read the amicus briefs filed by the project on behalf of individuals being wrongfully accused, find legal resources and links on the issue, and access the database of those who have been released from prison as a result of the project.
Since the project's inception and as of February 17, 2011, 266 innocent people have been freed.
