National Registry of Exonerations

The National Registry of Exonerations is a research project that documents and tracks cases in which individuals have been wrongfully convicted of crimes in the United States. It provides detailed information about these cases, including the reasons for exoneration, such as new evidence or legal errors. The registry aims to raise awareness about wrongful convictions and their impacts on individuals and society, while also promoting reforms to prevent future injustices. Since its inception, it has recorded thousands of exonerations, illustrating the prevalence and seriousness of wrongful convictions in the criminal justice system.
