FOUNDED IN 2001, INNOCENCE PROJECT NEW ORLEANS (IPNO) FREES INNOCENT, LIFE-SENTENCED PRISONERS IN LOUISIANA AND SOUTH MISSISSIPPI. WE SUPPORT OUR CLIENTS LIVING WELL AND FULLY IN THE WORLD AFTER THEIR RELEASE. WE ADVOCATE FOR SENSIBLE CRIMINAL JUSTICE POLICIES THAT REDUCE WRONGFUL CONVICTIONS. WE HAVE FREED OR EXONERATED 36 INNOCENT CLIENTS WHO COLLECTIVELY SERVED OVER 873 YEARS IN PRISON, MAKING US ONE OF THE MOST SUCCESSFUL INNOCENCE ORGANIZATIONS IN THE WORLD.
TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT WITHIN THE CRIMINAL JUSTICE SYSTEM.
IN 2019, IPNO EXONERATED TWO INNOCENT CLIENTS. ROYAL CLARK WAS EXONERATED AFTER 17 YEARS, FOUR MONTHS AND 14 DAYS AND ARCHIE WILLIAMS WAS EXONERATED AFTER 36 YEARS. IPNO ALSO FREED ERIC PRUDHOLM WHO WAS WRONGFULLY INCARCERATED FOR 37 YEARS AND ELVIS BROOKS WHO WAS WRONGFULLY INCARCERATED FOR 42 YEARS. IN 2019, IPNO ALSO PROVIDED WRAPAROUND TRANSITIONAL SUPPORT TO 30 FREED CLIENTS LIVING IN LOUISIANA, TEXAS, MISSISSIPPI, CALIFORNIA AND GEORGIA.

THE ROAD BACK TO A HEALTHY, HAPPY LIFE IS LONG, FILLED WITH OBSTACLES AND OFTEN REVERSES COURSE ON THE WAY TO ITS DESTINATION.
