Organization started by wrongly convicted man helps other exonerees; new home finished
Innocence Maintained recently completed a home where Detroit exonerees can stay for up to three months.
DETROIT (FOX 2) - Aaron Salter was wrongly convicted of murder and then exonerated years ago. He later founded an organization called Innocence Maintained to help and advocate for others who were wrongly convicted of crimes.
"I was already enthused about getting out here and being able to help people into re-entry that went through things that I went through," Salter said.
The organization recently completed a home in Highland Park to help Detroit exonerees get back on their feet. They can stay there for up to three months during their transition to life after prison.
"We are geared to support exonerees in all endeavors," Salter said. "Promoting awareness and stability."
