For 10 years, the Center on Wrongful Convictions has fought to identify and rectify wrongful convictions and other serious miscarriages of justice.
Without the Center's work, Johnnie Lee Savory would probably still be in prison for crimes he did not commit. The same could be said for scores of other innocent people in Illinois and across the country.
If you want to learn more about the Center, check out this video.
If you care about rectifying wrongful convictions, you should donate to the Center. (I just gave them $10--$1 for each year.)
On average, each pending case cost roughly $46,000. More than half of this amount comes from private donations. By donating to the Center, you can literally help save an innocent person like Johnnie Lee Savory from the living hell of a wrongful conviction.
If you can't donate now, but want to know more about this Center, you can join their new facebook group.
