    Innocent man must pay for 3 years in prison

    Old story, but depressingly true. I suppose he could easily point out that their error prevented him from earning the money to pay for his stay. It used to be the case that people imprisoned by error were awarded compensation.

      It is common practice.

      The article does say he is likely to be awarded £100,000 in compensation. So £7000 is a small, if insulting, part of that.

        So what do they do with the rightfully imprisoned?

        Do they have to pay too?

        If you have to ask, it's probably better posted at www.fratching.com

          There was something recently about prisoners being released early due to overcrowding and being given a subsistence allowance, but I can't remember the details.

          Frightning, eh?
