Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Louisiana

liability for wrongful imprisonment

What is the liability for a person who was held in prison 548 days past the release date from prison? Allegation of wrongful imprisonment is automatically proven when a writ of habeas corpus has been issued by the court and release was granted. Is the government of the state liable and if so, by how much per day?
