Innocence Project of Florida

 

The Innocence Project of Florida (IPF) is a member of the nationwide Innocence Network and the only viable resource in the state for those who have been wrongfully convicted and imprisoned. Through the use of conclusive DNA testing, IPF helps innocent prisoners obtain their freedom and rebuild their lives.

In the United States, DNA testing has so far helped exonerate and release 218 wrongfully convicted individuals. Nine of those were imprisoned in Florida. We know there are more.

Florida leads the nation in Death Row exonerations (26 since 1973), and with our rapidly growing prison population approaching 93,000, the third highest in the country, it is clear that our work is only beginning.
