Initial Intake

Presently, Proving Innocence does not have the capacity to take on cases directly. We care very much about your situation and would like to obtain from you some basic information. Later, when our capacity grows, we will use this information to make decisions on what cases we might explore and work on.
​
Please write out the answers to these questions within 2 pages, 3 if you just cannot do it in 2. Please understand that we will respond based on our capacity and other needs we are trying to meet.
