The Exoneration Fund compensates wrongfully incarcerated individuals in Indiana, providing $50,000 per year of incarceration for vacated convictions. Funds exclude concurrent sentences and certain detention types, and are paid out over five years. Applicants must meet strict eligibility criteria including proof of innocence and no prior compensation for the conviction.
Eligible applicants are individuals wrongfully convicted and incarcerated in Indiana, pardoned or with vacated convictions, deemed "actually innocent," and who have not previously received restitution or compensation for the same conviction.
