Honoring Al Kaneb
This year’s event will present the 2025 Arc of Justice Award to Al Kaneb in recognition of his long-standing support of NEIP and his efforts on behalf of wrongfully convicted individuals. Kaneb has been involved with the organization for nearly a decade, offering guidance and resources during critical moments.
His advocacy has included work on the case of Nancy Wagner, a Massachusetts woman wrongfully convicted of murder and sentenced to life without parole. Wagner spent 30 years incarcerated before her release. Supporters credit Kaneb’s persistence and encouragement as key in helping her rebuild her life.
