Some prisoners, who had been released to community corrections, were re-incarcerated after their sentences were recalculated.

Canadian Man Acquitted After Police Error Leads to Wrongful Conviction

Canadian Man Acquitted After Police Error Leads to Wrongful Conviction

A Canadian man, Brandon Klayme, was acquitted by the Nova Scotia Court of Appeal after spending 18 months in prison due to a police error. The case involved a child exploitation investigation originating in Wisconsin, where a 12-year-old girl reported inappropriate communications with an adult on the Kik messaging app. The police mistakenly omitted an underscore in the suspect's username, leading them to Klayme instead of the actual perpetrator. Despite the lack of evidence, Klayme was convicted in 2023 and sentenced to prison. His appeal highlighted the error, and the court ruled him factually innocent, overturning his conviction and vacating his sentence.
