Witness to Innocence is an organization of, by, and for death row exonerees. Our mission is to empower exonerated death row survivors to be the most powerful and effective voice in the fight to end the death penalty in the United States. Through public speaking, testifying in state legislatures, and media interviews, our members expose the reality that innocent people are sentenced to death.

Death row exonerees, and the issue of innocence, have been pivotal in every state that has abolished the death penalty in the last 15 years.

WTI also provides an essential network of peer support for the exonerated, most of whom received no compensation or access to reentry services when released from death row.
