Ways to Give

Why support Centurion?

 

On average it takes 8 to 10 years and $350,000 to free an innocent person. The process is extensive and requires the work of investigators, attorneys, and crime specialist/experts. Centurion is also committed to the supporting our men and woman after they have released from prison.

Your contributions ensures the essential needs to these victims of wrongful incarceration are being met. It helps them while they are imprisoned; it provides the financial requirements to get them released; and upon release, it ensures they are provided with the necessary tools to reintegrate into society.

Your gift enables us to free innocent men and women from prison!
