About this event
With more than 100,000 innocent people incarcerated in the United States, wrongful convictions remain a profound and often hidden injustice. The Great North Innocence Project (GNIP) works to free people who were convicted of crimes they did not commit - and to prevent future wrongful convictions - through rigorous investigation and litigation, education and outreach, and legislative advocacy.
In this presentation, Jack Reuler, advocate with Great North Innocence Project, will draw on real cases to illuminate the primary causes and lasting consequences of wrongful convictions, as well as the pathways to remedying them. Jack will also share how GNIP works proactively to prevent injustices before they occur, and how community members can partner with GNIP to help strengthen and improve our criminal legal system.
