That's fair. "Wrongfully jailed" would probably be a better terminology. I wouldn't apply this to someone who sat overnight in the drunk-tank, but I would apply it to someone who spent a month or more in jail awaiting a trial. "Not Guilty" — in a society with a presumption of innocence — is the same as innocent. If we find you Not Guilty, and you spent 3 months in jail, the State should repair you for that harm. "Charges Dropped" after a brief-arrest is not something I would punish. "Charges Dropped" after someone sat in jail for 2 months awaiting a trial? Pay up.
