Do you consider it much different from the practice of denying parole when convicts continue to profess innocence instead of professing contriteness? If someone is really innocent, they are in the catch 22 of staying in prison for life because parole boards deny release but if they just lie and pretend to feel contrite they get out on parole right away after serving time. There was a case on NPR recently but there's a name for the phenomena - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Innocent_prisoner%27s_dilemma plus documentaries about similar cases - West Memphis Three, etc.
