Benjamin Mendy - City lose case and Mendy awarded £11m in back pay (p168)

He wasn't "jailed" he was remanded in custody for breaking bail terms. There is a distinct difference, that said he was unable to turn up to work as a result, so for the period on remand I can't see how the club owe him a wage. No idea on the bonus side of things.
Breaching your bail conditions simply reverses the position on the presumption of bail. It basically means you can’t be trusted when you’ve been given the benefit of the doubt, even though you’ve been charged with a criminal offence. So yes, people who don’t comply with bail conditions, without reasonable excuse, should have their liberty removed.

If I was accused of a crime, and on bail, I’d make the fuck sure I complied with any bail condition(s). It’s got to be your main objective every day.

No excuses.

Logically you'd think as it was his own actions that led to him failing his bail conditions and being remanded into custody, then we wouldn't be liable to pay his wages during that time. I guess Mendy could counter argue that he should never have been in that position anyway as he was innocent. Complicated.

Yes. Staying out of the big house has to be your main objective. It was probably sheer arrogance of being a spoilt footballer used to getting his own way that made him not take it seriously.
