John McManus of the Miscarriages of Justice Organisation (MOJO, set up by Paddy Hill of the Birmingham Six) on the grotesque spectacle of compensation for victims of wrongful imprisonment being cut to take into account the lodgings provided by prison, and the food which other prisoners adulterate with glass and other things you don’t want in your food.
