Innocent prisoner's dilemma

The innocent prisoner's dilemma, or parole deal, is a detrimental effect of a legal system in which admission of guilt can result in reduced sentences or early parole. When an innocent person is wrongly convicted of a crime, legal systems which need the individual to admit guilt—as, for example, a prerequisite step leading to parole—punish an innocent person for their integrity, and reward a person lacking in integrity.
