– Why do people spend so much time in jail awaiting trial?

553 views

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?

Because it’s a unjust system that favors the rich. A truly just system will put you in house arrest instead of simply confining and imprisoning you for something that can’t be proven yet. If you’re truly innocent you wouldn’t be in jail would you?
