MISSION - WHAT WE DO

The mission of the Tennessee Innocence Project is to free innocent people who remain incarcerated, and to bring reform to the system responsible for their unjust imprisonment.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

Attorneys in Tennessee do not get any funding for investigators or expert witnesses. This utter lack of funding means that an attorney will be compensated $1000 for reviewing a complex murder trial, re-investigating for new evidence, and re-litigating with a higher burden of proof than ever existed during the jury trial. Under the current system, it is nearly impossible for an inmate in Tennessee to prove their actual innocence without the necessary resources. Complex trials are laborious and require time and resources.
