I keep hearing about people in jail for 3+ years awaiting trial. If they’re ‘innocent until proven guilty’ I dont understand why they are confined. I thought there was a right to a speedy trial also or is that not really the case?

Saying that you’re in the US, land if the “free”, without saying you’re in the US. That would actually be illegal, except for some very rare cases in my country.
The true answer for the US, is that you are willing to hold innocent people in jail for a prolonged time, you have a for profit prison system and you have this monetary bail system.
