We investigate wrongful convictions, fight for the innocent, and push to fix the system that failed them. Florida has a problem. We’re working to solve it.
The Innocence Project of Florida (IPF) is an IRS-certified 501(c)(3), non-profit organization founded in January 2003 to help innocent prisoners in Florida obtain their freedom and rebuild their lives.
Three pillars drive everything we do — from the first case review to the last day in court, and every reform effort in between.
We dig into cases the system has closed. Our attorneys and investigators re-examine evidence, interview witnesses, and pursue DNA testing to find the truth — no matter how long it takes.
When evidence points to innocence, we fight in court — at no cost to our clients. From post-conviction motions to full exoneration hearings, we provide the legal firepower they can’t access on their own.
Freeing one person isn’t enough. We push for systemic reform — better eyewitness ID procedures, limits on junk science, and accountability for misconduct — so Florida’s justice system stops failing innocent people.

Although we are the premier resource in Florida for those who have been wrongfully convicted and imprisoned, we receive no funding from the State of Florida. Our continued operation depends on the generosity of friends like you.
