The Miscarriages of Justice Organisation (M.O.J.O) is a human rights organisation set up by Paddy Hill and John McManus who are dedicated to assisting innocent people both in prison and after their release. Their main objectives are to help counsel innocent people after they are released from prison and to gradually help them come to terms with the modern world.
M.O.J.O. is committed to the establishment of a Retreat to help depressurise victims and prepare them for their return to the society from which they should never have been taken. The Retreat will be unique project, using shared counselling experiences to help victims gradually come to terms with what has happened to them.
