CLAYTON, AL—In an effort to apologize for the unfortunate mix-up, Ventress Correctional Facility officials gave a wrongfully imprisoned inmate a voucher Wednesday for a cell upgrade on his next incarceration.
“On behalf of the whole prison, we are truly sorry for the last 25 years and would like to make it up to you with this coupon for a stay in one of our most sought-after cells on the top floor of the prison,” said warden Patrick Clemons, adding that the voucher came with a $5 discount at the commissary for every year the recently released inmate was wrongfully imprisoned.
