We share the stories of Mississippians released from prison. Their freedom is the result of the work of the Innocence Project New Orleans, Innocence Project New York, many private practitioners and co-counsel, and others. Together, these men have served over 202.5 years in prison for crimes they did not commit. These are their stories.

* Cases with an asterisk denote those litigated by Innocence Project of New Orleans (IPNO), which preexisted the establishment of the Mississippi Innocence Project.  Because of IPNO’s proximity of south Mississippi, it continues to litigate cases in – mostly – south Mississippi. IPNO is one of the most successful projects in the country. Its work is featured here: http://www.ip-no.org/
