We are driven to free the innocent of Delaware and meaningfully reform the system that wrongfully convicted them. 

Founded in 2018, Innocence Project Delaware (also known as Innocence Delaware, Inc.) fights to correct and prevent wrongful convictions and ensure justice within the criminal legal system for innocent people in Delaware who are imprisoned for a crime they did not commit. IPD is the only organization in Delaware solely dedicated to freeing the wrongfully convicted. We provide pro bono legal representation, forensic testing, case investigation, and an experienced legal team to exonerate innocent Delawareans. IPD accepts DNA and non-DNA cases. 

We are a small staff of lawyers, development, and communications professionals who work with a dedicated network of criminal defense attorneys, experts, scholars, and exonerees to help free the innocent. We also use our expertise about wrongful convictions to provide education to the community.

IPD is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit and receives no funding from the “Innocence Project,” a separate organization based in NYC, or from any other innocence organizations. We are not associated with the Delaware Department of Justice's Actual Innocence Program.
