November 3, 2022 | Virtual Event
Voices of the Innocent: Journey to Freedom is a special virtual event hosted by the New England Innocence Project and featuring intimate stories from along the journey from those most impacted – from the crushing blow of a wrongful conviction and the struggle to maintain hope, to the long fight for justice and the trials and triumphs of rebuilding in freedom.
2022 Voices of the Innocent Honoree
2022 is a year to examine the entire journey to freedom, including the very difficult process of healing after the trauma of long-term wrongful imprisonment. This year it is our distinct honor to present the 2022 Arc of Justice Award to:
Kristin Dame
Kristin is a social service advocate who is deeply devoted to supporting people in Massachusetts who face or have experienced incarceration. As an invaluable thought partner to the Exoneree Network, she supports people who have been wrongfully convicted in a myriad of ways, including helping people acquire an official ID, health insurance, and benefits; assisting with new technology to attend job interviews and support meetings; and providing emotional support as community members learn to navigate a new world. Exonerees describe her as "generous," "caring," "thoughtful," "driven," and "dedicated," and consider her a role model and mentor. She is truly an unsung hero and we are so thrilled to sing her praises this year.
