#PayUp4TimeSpent – The Fight for Compensation Has Reached Parliament
When the Innocent Leave Prison With Nothing, We All Lose
Last night, something historic happened in Parliament.
APPEAL and Justice officially launched the #PayUp4TimeSpent campaign — demanding that the UK Government finally take responsibility for compensating the innocent who have lost years of their lives to wrongful convictions.
The campaign message is direct and urgent:
If the state steals your freedom, the least it can do is acknowledge it.
But in today’s system, many innocent people walk out of prison with:
❌ No apology
❌ No compensation
❌ No support
❌ No justice
This isn’t just a failure. It’s an insult.
📣 Why This Campaign Matters
Every year, lives are destroyed by wrongful convictions.
People lose:
🕰️ Time
🧠 Mental health
👪 Family relationships
💼 Careers
🏠 Homes
And when the system finally admits its mistake (if it ever does), it offers… nothing.
The #PayUp4TimeSpent campaign is calling for:
🏛️ Legislative reform to guarantee compensation
📜 Transparency in eligibility
🔄 A reversal of the current hostile process that punishes victims a second time

🧱 This Is Personal
I know this story too well — because I am one of them.
I left prison with a GPS tag, a stack of paperwork, no home, no job, and no recognition of what was taken from me.
But I didn’t disappear.
I created TruthReclaimed.org to fight back and expose a system that prefers silence to accountability.
This campaign gives people like me hope.
Not just for money — but for recognition, dignity, and repair.
✊ Join the Fight
If you’ve never been wrongly convicted, imagine this:
You’re locked in a cage for something you didn’t do.
Your reputation is destroyed.
Your child grows up without you.
And when you’re released… they give you nothing.
No justice. No support. No voice.
That’s why this campaign matters — and why I stand with it.
