Join our fight to end wrongful convictions in Colorado.
Despite safeguards in our criminal legal system, innocent people are convicted of crimes and sentenced to years in prison. The Korey Wise Innocence Project (KWIP) at Colorado Law works to exonerate the wrongfully convicted in Colorado. We also advocate for reforms to prevent future injustices.
We'll never have a perfect system, but KWIP is dedicated to doing what it can to fix as many mistakes as possible.
About Korey Wise
In 1989-90, 16-year-old Korey Wise and four other Black and Latino teenagers were falsely convicted of charges stemming from the brutal attack and rape of a female jogger in New York City’s Central Park. Wise spent 11.5 years in prison for crimes he did not commit. In 2015, following his exoneration and settlement with the city of New York, he made a major contribution to the University of Colorado Law School’s Innocence Project. In addition to his philanthropy, Wise is an avid public speaker and advocate for criminal justice reform in his home state of New York and across the U.S.
