Website of The Justice Project (TJP), a Washington-based independent campaigning organisation which seeks to foster fairness and accuracy in criminal cases. The Project's work is focused on reform of the death penalty. The site has information on the staff and work of the TJP. Current activities are focused on areas of the criminal justice system where mistakes could be eliminated. These include improving forensic evidence testing procedures, increasing post conviction DNA testing, improving the accountability of prosecutors, improving eyewitness identification procedures and ensuring defendants are adequately represented in capital cases. For each of these areas there are TJP reports and recommendations, related publications and case studies. The site also provides information and guidance to the Innocence Protection Act, which forms part of the Justice for All Act 2004 (HR 5107). There is a section on work done by the Project in the state of Texas and a TJP blog providing related news stories.
