In the News

So one of the news sources back home has run a few articles about a man who has just been released from prison after 7 years for a crime he didn't commit. One thing that really stuck me in this particular article is that while parolees have access to state services such as job placement, training, and counseling, a person wrongly convicted and exonerated does not.
 
While this guy received payment from the state of approximately 40000 a year he lost, that came after a great fight. Given how few people are ever proven innocent of a crime later I don't really understand the justification of denying those services to someone, whom now likely has a good reason to become a criminal except for it not being in his personality to commit crimes.
 
Note: I have no interest in getting into an argument about the existence of services to criminals, everybody should easily know what my opinions regarding that issue.
