The Wrong Man: 17 Years Behind Bars

A man fighting for freedom after spending 17 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit.

I've just watched two programmes on TV that go some way towards restoring the reputation of our national public broadcaster.
If you have the opportunity they are "Bletchley Park: Code-Breaking's Forgotten Genius" about Gordon #Welchman and "The Wrong Man: 17 years behind Bars" about Andrew #Malkinson who has still, >3 years after his release and almost a year after his conviction was officially overturned, not received a penny in compensation

@dangillmor Meanwhile, in the UK, a man #Malkinson who served 17 (seventeen) years for a rape he didn't commit is still living on state benefits almost a year after his conviction was formally overturned. https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/crime/andrew-malkinson-rape-sentence-overturned-b2382333.html
Man who spent 17 years in prison for rape he did not commit has conviction overturned

Andrew Malkinson tells victim: ‘I am so sorry the system let you down. It let us both down’

The Independent
#r4Today The interview with Sarah Dines revealed a disgraceful lack of compassion & empathy. No answers 2 the migrant crisis, #Rwanda & #Ascention are given as solutions. Her callous attitude in the #Malkinson case was frankly deplorable. #ToryGaslighting #ToryLiars

Is it only the UK that is such shit to even consider this?

Money for "board and lodging" in jail is sometimes deducted from former prisoners' compensation.
