The Innocence Project of Florida is a 501(c)(3) non-profit legal defense organization dedicated to representing individuals in Florida’s prisons who can prove their innocence through the use of DNA testing and other newly discovered evidence. We have helped secure the release of 36 individuals (and counting) who collectively spent over 838 years in prison for crimes they didn't commit. This work changes lives. It’s the bridge from years of injustice to a future filled with dignity, stability, and healing.
Our mission is to:
Screen and investigate cases in which meritorious innocence claims are identified;
Secure DNA testing when biological evidence exists;
Advocate for the release and/or exoneration of individuals whose cases present meritorious innocence claims based on evidence of actual innocence;
Provide transitional and aftercare services to exonerees; and
Advocate for necessary criminal justice reform to avoid wrongful incarcerations in the future.
