Joy and Healing Abound at the 2024 Innocence Network Conference
Boston represented in New Orleans, March 22-23, at the 2024 Innocence Network Conference, the world's largest gathering of exonerees, freed people, their families, and advocates. More than 1,200 people attended this year's gathering including approximately 400 exonerees and freed people — together they lost 6,654+ years wrongfully imprisoned for crimes they did not commit.
The joy is palpable when this community comes together to heal and connect after the trauma of long-term incarceration. Thanks to everyone who made this trip possible through your support of the New England Innocence Project and the Exoneree Network. We had 15 exonerees and freed people from New England attend this year, thanks to your support. Collectively, they lost more than 415 years wrongfully imprisoned. Learn more about how you can support exonerees and freed people who have experienced a wrongful conviction as they work to rebuild their lives.
