Why This Work Matters
Every year, innocent people lose decades of their lives to wrongful convictions.
When they are finally released, they return to a world with little support and few resources.
We exist to change that.
How We Are Different
We are not speaking for exonerees.
We are exonerees.
Our work is shaped by lived experience.
The only peer-led organization dedicated exclusively to exonerees.
Built by people directly impacted by wrongful convictions
Focused on reentry stabilization, leadership development, and informed policy reform
Grounded in lived experience, not theory
Since 1989,
196 people in Michigan have been exonerated,
losing more than 2,000 years
of their lives.
