I heard there was someone in the UK who got cleared of a crime and then was charged an accommodation fee or something because apparently since they were innocent they had no right to be in prison. Last I heard, gov was going to overturn this law

That article also says-

The maximum payment in cases where someone has been in jail for more than 10 years is £1m.

Pretty good deal for the government there too.
