Centurion is a legal services nonprofit based in Princeton, New Jersey, focused on freeing individuals who have been wrongfully imprisoned. The organization has helped 71 exonerees, often in cases without DNA or forensic evidence, requiring on-the-ground investigation in the field. It was founded in 1983 by Jim McCloskey and operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit with no religious affiliation.

Each year Centurion receives about 1,600 requests for assistance, and about 20 cases are open at any given time, with work lasting five to ten years before there is realistic hope of a retrial. The organization engages top attorneys and forensic experts and assumes all case-related costs in pursuit of new evidence. Beyond freedom, Centurion supports exonerees as they reenter society, assisting with housing, employment, and community integration, all funded through donations.
