Here's a little bit of good news:

After the uproar about recently freed & wrongly convicted Andrew Malkinson being charged for food & lodgings for the two decades he was wrongly imprisoned, guidance (put in place in 2006) that such costs should be deducted from compensation for miscarriages of justice, has been removed.

Those successfully securing release & gaining compensation will now not also have to pay for the privilege of being banged up while innocent.

Good sense prevails (finally!)
