Fixing the System

Many factors come into play when evaluating why wrongful convictions occur. There are many remedies that have been proven to decrease wrongful convictions. Unfortunately, these remedies are being ignored by many jurisdictions in the United States.

Wrongful convictuons can be greatly reduced if proper reforms are put into motion in these seven key categories.

DNA/Forensics

Evidence Preservation

Eyewitness Identification

False Confessions

Inadequate Representation

Police Informants

Police and Prosecutorial Misconduct


Reform is also needed when it comes to helping those who have been exonerated. Freedom is only the first step to recovery. Most exonerees spend an average of 12.5 years in prison before being released and face great hardships when they make their way back into society.
