##About Miracle of Innocence:
Founded in 2017 by Darryl Burton and Lamonte McIntyre, two men who spent decades behind bars after being wrongfully imprisoned, Miracle of Innocence is committed to overturning wrongful convictions and helping exonerees reclaim their lives. Since its inception, the organization has helped free four innocent individuals. In addition to advocating for retrials and overturning convictions, Miracle of Innocence provides exonerees with essential resources such as housing, employment assistance, mental health support, transportation, food, clothing, and more. Without proper transition services for exonerees, Miracle of Innocence fills a critical gap in providing comprehensive reentry care.
