Innocence Project of Texas

About Me

The Innocence Project of Texas is a consortium of independent projects from Texas Tech University, Texas Wesleyan, University of St. Thomas, University of Texas-Arlington, and the University of North Texas. These projects, through student volunteers, devote their time to investigating inmates' claims of actual innocence and working toward freedom for the wrongfully-convicted who would otherwise become lost in the criminal justice system.

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

All those willing to lend a helping hand in our effort to correct the injustice of wrongful convictions.
