FIGHTING MISCARRIAGES OF JUSTICE
since 1993

INNOCENT is a Manchester-based organisation which supports and campaigns for innocent people in prison.
INNOCENT is made up of families, friends and supporters of wrongly convicted prisoners who have come together in order to help each other. It is an independent organisation.
Innocent!
Many innocent people have been wrongly convicted in the past. Some have now been released, some, including Kevin Callan, Dave Wood, Adrian Maher, Graham Huckerby, Shay Power, Suzanne Holdsworth and Ian Lawless, with the support of INNOCENT. Many more innocent men and women are still in prison for crimes they have not committed.
If you are trying to help a wrongly convicted prisoner, contact INNOCENT.
INNOCENT meets every fortnight in Oldham, Greater Manchester (click here for details). Meetings are for families and other supporters of wrongly convicted prisoners. INNOCENT is independent of any other organisation, and is financed by the contributions of its members. We do not charge for any help we give. Donations are, of course, very welcome.
