Eligibility
Targets those who meet the following criteria: an indigent Ohio inmate; the inmate claims actual innocence of the convictions (the inmate did not contribute in any way to the commission of the offense). In most cases, the inmate should be serving a lengthy prison sentence because the appeals process can take 5-10 years or longer (however, may be able to help those with shorter sentences on a case-by-case basis). Must have exhausted the legal process.
