He probably won't do anything. But I know PA didn't have it for a while. I think they recently got it in the last couple years.
I did also say that there was no amount of money that would pay for lost time. I read a man who spent 28 years in jail and walked away with a couple million in compensation. But I think the minimum compensation currently is only like $5,000/year. So even if he did, he'd only be walking $20,000.
I found this from 6 years ago. So don't base these numbers on what it currently is:
Alabama: Minimum of $50,000 for each year served.
California: $100 a day for each day served.
District of Columbia: No cap.
Illinois: Maximum $15,000 for up to five years; $30,000 for six to 14 years, $35,000 for more than 14.
Iowa: $50 a day for each day served and lost wages up to $25,000 a year, plus attorneys' fees.
Maine: Maximum $300,000. No punitive damages.
Maryland: No cap on compensation described as "actual damages sustained."
Montana: Free tuition to any school in the state's university system.
New Hampshire: Maximum $20,000.
New Jersey: Capped at twice the amount earned the year before incarceration or $20,000, whichever is greater.
New York: No cap.
North Carolina: $20,000 a year, total not to exceed $500,000.
Ohio: $25,000 a year of incarceration, plus lost wages and attorneys fees.
Oklahoma: $175,000 maximum. No punitive damages.
Tennessee: $1 million cap.
Texas: $25,000 per year of incarceration, total not to exceed $500,000, plus one year of counseling.
Virginia: 90% of the average Virginia income for up to 20 years; $10,000 in tuition to enroll in the state's community-college system.
West Virginia: No cap.
Wisconsin: $25,000 cap.
Federal government: $5,000 cap.
