More than I expected to be honest, Germany has a rate of 75€ per day which would result in a whopping 400,000€. Austria has between 20€-50€ per day for instance.

In addition, in Germany, one may be compensated for verifiable monetary loss.

Though that verifiable monetary loss is subject to be reduced by the cost of free housing, food, etc in prison. After all, you would’ve spent money on cost of living had you not been imprisoned!
