IPNW will only consider cases from Alaska, Washington, Idaho, Oregon and Montana in which actual innocence is claimed. Other innocence projects consider cases from other states. For help in other states, please see our list of other innocence projects.

IPNW selects cases based on a number of factors, the most important of which is the information gathered from inmates in the initial contacts. The first step in submitting a case for the project's consideration is filling out a screening questionnaire and mailing it to IPNW. Click here for a printable version of the IPNW Screening Questionnaire.

Only fully completed questionnaires will be evaluated. Send the completed questionnaire to the address below.
