"A prisoner who was held in solitary confinement for two years has been awarded $15.5m (£10.3m) in compensation. A court in southern New Mexico reached the record settlement to end Stephen Slevin's long-running legal battle over the case. The payout - one of the largest federal civil rights settlements in history - stems from mediation ordered by a federal appeals court. Dona Ana County had appealed against a lower court decision to uphold the original \$22m (£14.6m) judgement that was awarded last January."
