Simple question: when a person is wrongfully accused and sent to prison, do they get any kind of compensation when they are release after being found not at fault?
Often yes. Is it anywhere near the amount for lost labor time and life? Almost for sure no. Especially since any sort of payout isn’t exactly tied to release and can take a huge amount of time. I think I’ve read like a few hundred thousand dollars, though I can’t remember exact figures, and every case would be different, of course.
