Imagine a person you love, in the wrong place at the wrong time, entering the execution room for the last moments of life.
“Until we are certain there is no chance the death penalty kills innocent people, its existence is irresponsible.”

The Oklahoma Coalition for Responsible Justice (OCFJ) is a pioneering nonprofit organization dedicated to identifying, researching, supporting, and helping to exonerate individuals wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death in Oklahoma.
Our mission is to rectify miscarriages of justice within the state's criminal justice system, advocating for the innocent who have been failed by legal inadequacies and procedural errors. By leveraging collaborative efforts, comprehensive legal research, and strategic litigation, we aim to ensure truth and fairness for the wrongly condemned so that responsible justice prevails.
Our Vision
We believe in a future where the criminal justice system in Oklahoma and beyond is transparent, and equitable, ensuring that no innocent person is ever wrongfully sentenced to death. We strive to bring about systemic changes that prevent wrongful convictions and promote a culture of accountability and responsible justice for all.
Our Work
Legal Advocacy and Research: Providing top-tier legal research for those claiming wrongful conviction on death row, ensuring their rights are vigorously defended.
Public Education and Awareness: Raising awareness about the fallibility of the criminal justice system and the irreversible impact of death row wrongful convictions through outreach programs, educational materials, and public speaking engagements.
Policy Reform and Advocacy: Working with lawmakers, justice system stakeholders, and the community to advocate for legal reforms that enhance the accuracy, fairness, and integrity of the criminal justice process.
Your Support Matters
Every individual we help to exonerate is a life saved from the profound injustice of being wrongfully condemned to die. Your support enables us to continue our critical work, fight for justice, and restore hope to those who have been unjustly sentenced. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of the innocent and work towards a more just and humane society.
“It is a denial of justice not to stretch out a helping hand to the fallen; that is the common right of humanity.”
