Policy Reform
The California Innocence Coalition (CIC) consists of four innocence projects in California: NCIP, the Loyola Project for the Innocent, the Los Angeles Innocence Project, and The Innocence Center. CIC's three-part mission is to craft and pass legislation to prevent wrongful convictions from occurring, create avenues of relief for those wrongfully incarcerated, and empower exonerated people once they come home. Since 2016, CIC has been successful in passing over a dozen laws.
