#2 Not a lawyer, but it seems to me that part of the injury suffered was being transported in chains from their homeland to Jamaica. Therefore, to right this wrong, along with your cash you get a free ride home. You do get to fly coach this time, which will be a marginal improvement over the original trip.

Either that or the Brit's get to keep their slaves. They paid for them, after all.
