Australia had a legal resident who was unlawfully detained for 10 months.

She was mentally ill so could not identify herself.

We have no idea if this prisoner is mentally ill (I'd bet yes) and how that impacted the crime, it involved 4 people, he might have been used.

Just societies don't lock people up because they are unknown or hard.
