In Campbell v. State of New York (186 Misc 586 [Ct Cl 1946]), Presiding Judge Barrett described the angst and humiliation suffered by another innocent man thus unjustly incarcerated: "Claimant suffered grieviously during his long term in prison . . . for the commission of crimes of which he was innocent. He was branded as a convict, given a prison number and assigned to a felon's cell. He was deprived of his liberty and civil rights. He was degraded in the eyes of his fellow men. His mental anguish was great by reason of his separation from society and his wife and family ... He suffered the miseries of prison life and his confinement was doubly hard because he was innocent."
