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?
In: 235
Because “bail”
Now you get arrested and you’re either poor already or maybe lose your job because you’re in jail…. how do you or your family afford bail?
So in jail you stay.
That’s why bail reform is such a big deal.
