Ali Velshi reported on this outrage on Thanksgiving evening: VELSHI: Unlike guilty prisoners, a parole officer will not help Strickland find counseling, housing, or work, and unlike exonorees in other states, he will not be eligible for social services, such as participating in the state's health care program. And maybe most importantly, Missouri almost never compensates wrongfully imprisoned people for time served. On the federal level, they are given $50,000 for every year they were wrongfully imprisoned.
