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?

Just a note, jail and prison are not the same. Jail is where you wait for trial (usually if you’re a high risk of running away or if you can’t afford bail) and prison is where you go if you’re found guilty
