Mission
GEORGIA INNOCENCE PROJECT (GIP) IS AN INDEPENDENT ORGANIZATION THAT WORKS HOLISTICALLY TO FREE INNOCENT PEOPLE FROM GEORGIA PRISONS, TO ASSIST EXONEREES WITH REBUILDING THEIR LIVES IN FREEDOM, AND MITIGATE THE CAUSES AND CONSEQUENCES OF WRONGFUL CONVICTION AT A SYSTEMIC LEVEL.
Program accomplishments
- In FY25, Georgia Innocence Project secured the exoneration and freedom of an innocent man who served 22 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. In FY25, Georgia Innocence Project, often in collaboration with pro bono partners, actively worked on 22 representation stage cases, had 17 cases in active screening for post-conviction claims of innocence, and processed 280 requests for help. Georgia Innocence Project also advocated for fair compensation for innocent exonerees and reform of Georgia's compensation process, provided direct exoneree support to several exonerees, hosted "freedom gatherings" where exonerees in Georgia accessed peer support and strengthened community, and worked in partnership with freed and exonerated people to educate the public about the causes and consequences of wrongful conviction in Georgia.Expenses $845,269
