To people who have been #wrongfullyconvicted and imprisoned, freedom holds many different meanings. For Alfred Chestnut, freedom means having the ability to appreciate the small things in life that we often take for granted. #WrongfulConvictionDay #JusticeDelayedisJusticeDenied
While we work to free the innocent, we’re also committed to changing the systems that allow wrongful convictions to happen in the first place. Policy reform is a critical part of our mission. This year we celebrate the 20 innocence reforms that occurred nationwide!
Wrongful conviction is depicted in media every day, from documentaries to podcasts to books. For exonerees, it’s lived reality. Stories on screen or written in text spark awareness. Your support sparks change.
As MAIP client Griff Smith continues fighting to uncover the truth and clear his name, he is also working hard to achieve his dreams of becoming a business owner and building generational wealth for his family. #WrongfulConvictionDay
Justice shouldn’t take a lifetime. Yet for the wrongfully convicted, years can pass before the truth is finally heard. Every day behind bars is a day stolen; birthdays, graduations, moments with family. * * * #TimeStolen #WrongfulConvictionDay #JusticeDelayed #FreeTheInnocent
For many wrongfully convicted people, their family is their most important source of support. MAIP client Ransom Watkins’ mother passed away when he was 16, but the memory of her and her love kept him strong throughout 36 years of wrongful incarceration. #WrongfulConvictionDay
Mark your calendars for #WrongfulConvictionDay next Thursday, October 2! Over the couple of weeks, we will be sharing stories and statistics that illustrate the impact of #wrongfulconvictions on both individual lives and our communities.
On September 19, 2017, after 13 years in prison for a crime he did not commit, Lamar was finally free. He walked into the loving arms of his family and friends. Today, Lamar is celebrating eight years of freedom. Join us in wishing Lamar a 8th #FreedomAnniversary!
SAVE THE DATE! Friday, May 15th The Mayflower Hotel This year the Mid-Atlantic Innocence Project will be hosting an Evening of Light to celebrate our clients and the journey through wrongful conviction to freedom. Ticket sales and sponsorships will go live on October 6!
Hispanic Heritage Month is a time to celebrate the resilience, culture, and contributions of the Hispanic and Latino communities. It is also a time to acknowledge the deep disparities they face in the criminal legal system.
Meet our Manager of Development and Events, Abby Johnson! Abby works every day to provide points of connection and engagement for our donors through individual communication, newsletters, and events. #staffspotlight #wrongfulconvictions #justice #community #innocenceproject
A study done by psychologist Elizabeth Loftus shows that memories can be distorted or fabricated over time. Stress and trauma can further impair these memories leading to unreliable testimony from eyewitnesses. Test your own memory on the slides above!
On National Book Day, we’re turning the page toward justice with book recommendations that shed light on wrongful convictions and the flaws in our criminal legal system. 📚 Which one will you read next? * * * #NationalReadABookDay #WrongfulConvictions #BooksThatMatter
Today is International Charity Day, a global reminder of the power of compassion, solidarity, and action. This #InternationalCharityDay, stand with us. Stand with the wrongfully convicted.
On #LaborDay, we honor the American labor movement and celebrate the social and economic accomplishments of American workers. But for hundreds of thousands of incarcerated people across the U.S., labor doesn’t come with dignity, rights, or fair pay.
Happy Birthday to MAIP client and Board Member, Troy Burner! Troy was exonerated after spending 24 years in prison for a crime he didn't commit. He continues to be a beacon of hope for those wrongfully incarcerated. Troy, we hope you have an incredible day celebrating!
“They are always giving love & wanting love. It is unconditional” says Troy Burner, exonerated in 2020 after 24 years in prison. His pups, Gucci & Juno, are a comforting presence. On National Dog Day, we honor the resilience of our exonerees & the unconditional love from our pups
Meet Amanda Millir, one of MAIP's incredibly dedicated staff investigators! Amanda's passion for uncovering the truth and resolving the double injustice that wrongful convictions cause makes her an invaluable member of the MAIP team! * * * #staffspotlight #wrongfulconviction
Today, we honor our donors, sponsors, partners, & board members who are critical in our mission to correct & prevent wrongful convictions. Your commitment empowers us to bring justice to the wrongfully convicted. Join us in celebrating #NationalNonProfitDay by donating to MAIP!
Thirty-six years ago, Gary Dotson, a previously relatively unknown man from a Chicago suburb, made history by becoming the first person in the world exonerated by DNA evidence. Today we reflect on how far we've come as we continue to fight for a fairer, more just society.
