How the Innocence Project describes eyewitness error, false confessions, and forensics

Its public issues include eyewitness misidentification, false confessions, unreliable forensics, official misconduct, and inadequate defense.

The Innocence Project, founded in 1992 by Peter Neufeld and Barry Scheck, works to free people who were wrongfully convicted and to reform the systems that produce those convictions.

Restoring freedom is paired with changing the rules that make errors likely. The organization publishes cases and research and invites the public to support policy change. It presents exoneration as both a rescue for an individual and evidence that criminal justice practices need to change.
