Indiana Exoneration Map
- This map represents exonerations across Indiana, each the result of tireless advocacy, legal work, and investigative efforts by various innocence organizations.
- The data come from the National Registry of Exonerations, whose research is essential to the innocence movement.
- Each exoneration links to a detailed account of the individual’s story and credits the people and organizations whose efforts helped secure their freedom.
- While these cases were not handled by the Indiana Innocence Project, we honor the work behind them and share the mission they represent.
- With your help, the Indiana Innocence Project hopes to put more exonerations on the map.
