Montana Innocence Project

The Montana Innocence Project (MTIP) is a statewide nonprofit organization dedicated to exonerating the innocent and preventing future wrongful convictions in Montana. Because liberty and justice are paramount to democratic society, it is the mission of the Montana Innocence Project to free the innocent and unjustly incarcerated, and advocate for systems of Justice that are accurate, accountable, and fair for all. We work to achieve this mission through a combination of advocacy, pro bono legal representation, and education. Since its inception in 2008, MTIP has secured freedom for ten wrongfully incarcerated Montanans and helped to connect them with resources and support as they rebuild their lives. In total our clients have lost more than 175 years of their lives to wrongful conviction—time taken from their families, communities, and society.
