The Washington Innocence Project (WIP) is dedicated to freeing the wrongfully convicted, advocating for criminal justice reform, and giving voice to those silenced by systemic miscarriages of justices. Through this gallery, WIP transforms individual struggle into a powerful visual and storytelling experience, inviting viewers to see the humanity behind the headlines.

Framing Truth presents a compelling series of portraits that honor the lives and stories of individuals impacted by wrongful convictions in Washington State. Each portrait is paired with a personal narrative, capturing moments of resilience, hope, and the unyielding pursuit of justice.

These faces are more than images, they are testimonies of courage, perseverance, and the enduring quest for truth. Framing Truth challenges us to reflect, connect, and recognize the vital importance of justice in every life it touches.
