I’m not aware of suspects who aren’t convicted receiving restitution for jail time. Is there federal law for that?

- tyingq 5y agoApparently there is a US federal law that provides $50,000 per year of confinement in the case of a wrongful conviction: https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/stateline/2017/03/14/what-do-states-owe-people-who-are-wrongfully-convicted https://www.pewtrusts.org/en/research-and-analysis/blogs/sta... No idea if it applies to non-citizens. Some Guantanamo detainees got compensation from the UK and Canada: https://www.voanews.com/europe/british-government-pays-compensation-former-guantanamo-detainees https://www.voanews.com/europe/british-government-pays-compe... https://www.newsweek.com/guantanamo-bay-detainee-omar-khadr-wins-10m-canada-631792 https://www.newsweek.com/guantanamo-bay-detainee-omar-khadr-...
