Our goal visiting the Innocence Project was to find out how people and organizations helped with wrongful incarceration. The Innocence Project uses DNA to prove that people are innocent. Sometimes there would be no DNA and they could not help. This information showed us that up to twenty five thousand people are wrongfully incarcerated and can’t be helped. We interviewed Kristen Pulkinnen and learned that she did fundraising for the organization. I realized that everyone there did different things that were all just as important. I was somewhat confused before the fieldwork about why these people did these low paying jobs. I realized it was because they didn’t care if they got little pay, they felt that it was their duty help others in need. Before the visit I thought that most people who were wrongfully incarcerated would be exonerated, but I realized that only twenty five to one hundred actually got out of prison. That means that 30 thousand people are still trapped in prison. Now that I have learned about the Innocence Project I think that it is really important that we get someone who has been exonerated to come talk to our class about how important this issue is and how many people are blind to its existence.
