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?

The bail process is a joke, and the way the it works out for a lot of jurisdictions is that they create a shit hole jail. People don’t wanna be there and they know it’s gonna be forever to go to court. So they beg and plead with their defender to make a deal just to leave. A lot of cases don’t even go to all the way because of plea deals
