About this organization
Mission
The New England Innocence Project (NEIP) is an independent social justice non-profit that fights to correct and prevent wrongful convictions and ensures justice within the criminal legal system for innocent people imprisoned for a crime they did not commit in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Maine, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. We provide free forensic testing, investigation, experts, and an experienced legal team to exonerate the innocent and bring them home to their loved ones. We also use our expertise about wrongful convictions to provide education and advocate for legislative and judicial reforms to prevent future tragedies.
About
The New England Innocence Project provides pro bono legal representation to people who have been wrongfully convicted in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island and Vermont. In addition to freeing the innocent, NEIP raises public awareness of the prevalence, causes, and costs of wrongful convictions, and advocates for reforms that will reduce their incidence. The organization is primarily funded through gifts, grants and contributions and substantial amounts of contributed services.
