Innocence Project New Orleans

Innocence Project New Orleans (IPNO) frees innocent people sentenced to life in prison and those serving unjust sentences. We recognize the root causes of wrongful convictions and unjust sentences as systemic racism and inequities. We work to expose and address these root causes by sharing our clients’ stories in court, the legislature, the community and the media. We support our clients living well and fully in the world after their release.

Free innocent and unjustly convicted people from prison. Support our clients to live well and fully in the world after their release. Advocate for criminal justice reforms.
