About Claim Your Innocence
In many countries, the death penalty has not been abolished, and innocent people remain incarcerated — some awaiting execution for crimes they did not commit. This website exists to document those cases, follow the news that surrounds them, and keep public attention on the men and women caught in the machinery of capital punishment.
My name is Anabel. I’m the Founder and CEO of Claim Your Innocence. I have a degree in psychology and a Master of Law (MLaw) in Criminology and Security.
I created Claim Your Innocence in 2013 as a complement to my work. Since then, it has grown into an archive dedicated to death penalty news and the stories of the wrongfully convicted.
What you will find here
- Death penalty news
- Scheduled executions
- Inmate cases (innocent or not)
- Books and films on the subject
- Studies in psychology
A note on my approach
For procedural reasons, and to protect the inmates concerned, I deliberately remove any information that could prejudice an ongoing case. Accuracy and fairness matter to me as much as the cause itself.
