How do you find yourself on the short end of a $440 MILLION lawsuit? Just keep an innocent man in jail for five months:
A homeless man was mistakenly imprisoned at the D.C. jail and an adjacent correctional treatment facility for five months because Department of Corrections workers failed to update computer records to indicate that a court had ordered his release within two days of his arrest.
While I know that DC has a homeless problem, this solution seems a bit extreme as well as overly costly.
