According to Xinhua News Agency, an American federal jury ruled on the 24th that the local government should compensate a man with 22 million US dollars, because he was arrested for drunk driving, suffered from two years of solitary confinement and endured the pain of "pulling out his tooth" by himself. The man named Stephen Slevin, 58 years old, was arrested when he was driving through Donna Anna County in southern New Mexico in August 2005. After that, his attorney Coit said that Slevin had never been convicted, but was not released until June 2007. Coit said that his client was in a cell measuring 1.8 meters wide and 3.3 meters long in the county jail, using a cement bench as a bed, and had no chance of being let out for several months continuously, without entertainment or bathing.
