5 Ways to Help

According to the resources from yesterday's post, here are 5 ways you can help with the issue of wrongful conviction.

1. Donate money to organizations actively aiding the wrongfully convicted
2. Educate yourself and others about the causes and reasons behind wrongful convictions
3. Contact your state and federal representatives about the issue (Check out this link on how to do this)
4. Reach out to news media to help spread awareness on specific cases (media attention helps move along the legal process, due to the pressure of the public's interest)
5. Correspond with a prisoner or former prisoner who has been wrongfully convicted. Be sure to go through an organization like NCRJ

The best way to help out is to continue the conversation about wrongful convictions. Do your own research and educate yourself so as to best inform others.
