Alcatraz Island

Northern California Innocence Project

<p>Learn about wrongful convictions and the fight to exonerate innocent people in this special presentation by the <a href="https://ncip.org/">Northern California Innocence Project</a>. The Project is a non-profit program of Santa Clara University School of Law whose mission is to promote a fair, effective, and compassionate criminal legal system and protect the rights of the innocent. Since 2001, they have processed more than ten thousand requests for assistance, investigated hundreds of cases, pursued litigation or collaborative resolution in dozens, and obtained the freedom of 38 wrongfully convicted people who collectively lost nearly 600 years in prison.</p> <p>This event is part of Alcatraz's Formerly Incarcerated Speaker Series which highlights the voices of people who have spent time inside of jails and prisons. The National Park Service believes in parks as platforms for dialogue, and Alcatraz Island, being one of the only NPS sites that interprets mass incarceration, works directly with people who have been affected in order to give them a platform to showcase their stories.<br /><br />If you are part of a justice-impacted group and are interested in attending one of the days, please <a id="/common/utilities/sendmail/sendemail.cfm?o=6AA9F89AA2FCBAA886BE12ACF137A5BD55D341804A&amp;r=/alca/planyourvisit/formerly-incarcerated-speaker-series.htm|" href="https://www.nps.gov/common/utilities/sendmail/sendemail.cfm?o=6AA9F89AA2FCBAA886BE12ACF137A5BD55D341804A&amp;r=/alca/planyourvisit/formerly-incarcerated-speaker-series.htm">email us</a> about community tickets for these events.</p>
