North Carolina Center On Actual Innocence
Mission
North Carolina Center on Actual Innocence provides investigative and legal services for unrepresented North Carolina inmates claiming innocence.
The Center's primary mission is to identify, investigate and advance credible claims of innocence, obtaining justice for people imprisoned for crimes they did not commit, for the victims of those crimes, and for the actual perpetrators.
Our secondary mission is to educate policymakers, the public, and legal and law enforcement communities about the factors that contribute to wrongful conviction, as well as emerging solutions which can increase the reliability of convictions.
