No. You can only sue if you were improperly imprisoned.

That's a mighty big "if". I don't know if it's ever been done. Many law schools sponsor legal clinics who will take on difficult cases.

Have no idea what you are talking about. You been reading jailhouse lawyer stuff too long? See a good criminal lawyer in your county and tell him your story in full.
