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?

Sometimes people are accused of doing something bad, like breaking the law, and they have to go to jail until they go to court to see if they’re guilty or not. But, sometimes there are a lot of people waiting to go to court and it takes a long time. Just like waiting in line for a ride at the amusement park, sometimes it takes a while to get your turn.
