I love the financial payout idea. The system is broken structurally -- it's not just a few bad people. The best answer for something like that is not to go after individuals, but make the bad behavior more expensive for all involved. At some cost, it'll work itself out.
- thaumasiotes 11y agoThe common point against rewards for wrongful imprisonment is that it makes it harder for the wrongfully imprisoned to get out of jail, by penalizing the government for admitting a mistake. As things currently are, prosecutors will fight tooth and nail and illegally hide evidence just to avoid admitting the mistake, so it's unclear exactly how much harder it would make things.
