High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The innocent prisoner`s dilemma, or `Parole Deal`, is a detrimental effect of a legal system which does not recognize that its judgements may be imperfect. When an innocent person is wrongly convicted of a crime, legal systems which need the individual to admit guilt, for example as a prerequisite step leading to parole, punish an innocent person for his integrity, and reward a person lacking in integrity. There have been many cases where innocent prisoners were given the choice between freedom, in exchange for admitting guilt, and remaining imprisoned and telling the truth. Individuals have died in prison rather than admit to crimes which they did not commit.
