That is seriously fucked up. Charging someone room and board while they were wrongfully incarcerated.

"The Home Office said an “independent assessor appointed by the Home Secretary takes into acccount the range of costs the prisoner might have incurred had they not been imprisoned”. The spokes man said the assessor was “right” to do this, adding: “Morally, this is reasonable and appropriate.” "

I wonder if they take into account the amount of income they would have earned while they were in jail, emotional distress, hardships caused by receiving less income, single parenting, a child w/o a parent. This is a great injustice, I dont believe anyone would seriously try and enforce this, but here it is. Its sad. annoy:
