Laura Caldwell is the Director and founder of Loyola's Life After Innocence, working with wrongfully convicted individuals or other innocent persons affected by the criminal justice system in order to help them re-enter society and reclaim their lives.

Life After Innocence was inspired by one of her clients, a 19-year-old young man, who sat in a Cook County holding cell for nearly six years without a trial. His ultimate release was won by Caldwell and a renowned criminal defense attorney and their story was captures in Caldwell’s first nonfiction book, Long Way Home: A Young Man Lost And The Two Women Who Found Him.
