Innocent: Don't pass go, but you still owe. (Metafilter discussion and BBC coverage): Get locked up 25 years for a crime you didn't commit and then the government wants to charge you money for your prison hotel stay. This has to be one of the most asinine things I've read in a long time. I wish it were a joke. Unfortunately, the BBC story confirms that the British government has indeed losts its marbles.
