The 2017 Innocents Database Exoneration Report is the third yearly report of information recorded in the Innocents Database. The Innocents Database is an ongoing independent non-profit project begun in February 1997 that records every documentable exoneration in the United States and every other country.

 

The Innocents Database includes more than 129,000 wrongful conviction cases. The database is online at www.justicedenied.org/exonerations.htm.


This report is based on the known exonerations in the United States and other countries in 2017. The report has more than three dozen tables and charts detailing a wealth of information that includes the number of exonerations by country, and U.S. states and counties; and cumulative information about exonerees such as their years imprisoned, convicted crimes, the type of evidence that resulted in their exoneration, and their age when convicted and released from custody. Also included are the number of people exonerated by DNA evidence, by the granting of a federal habeas petition, and the assistance of a conviction review unit.
