IPNO has achieved the release of twelve innocent men since its inception in 2001. Three of these men were under 18 when they were arrested. Two exonerees served what one commentator described as possibly the longest wrongful incarceration in U.S. history: 27 1/2 years.

Nine of the twelve cases have involved evidence other than DNA or in addition to DNA, such as witness evidence, forensic science evidence and documentary evidence. The total number of years of wrongful incarceration for IPNO clients is 214 years.
