Center for Justice and Exoneration Network at Purdue University Northwest
The Center for Justice and Exoneration Network at Purdue University Northwest aims to identify and eradicate miscarriages of justice and to provide support to those who have suffered from a wrongful conviction. We strive to live in a nation where the criminal justice system seeks truth and fairness while upholding civil liberties.
The real threat to justice is the illusion of equal justice.
