Innocence Project Impact

The Innocence Project recently posted a video to Youtube that includes snippets of interviews with multiple exonerees who were helped by the organization. The video is incredibly powerful as viewers hear directly from those who have benefited from the Innocence Project's assistance. The video subjects share their experiences in prison, how they stayed hopeful, and what it meant to them to have the Innocence Project on their side.

The video description reads "The Innocence Project has helped more than 200 people wrongly convicted people secure their freedom and prove their innocence. Here are a few of their stories including Archie Williams, John Nolley, Clemente Aguirre, Perry Lott, Huwe Burton, and Steven Mark Chaney."

The video, posted in late May, has just over 400 views. With such an important issue that affects so many, you would hope that these messages would be spread further. Hopefully with the increased fascination in wrongful conviction stories (as seen in multiple Netflix series), the Innocence Project will gain more attention for the important work they are dong.
