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?

Here in Denmark it comes down to keeping the criminal away from the streets during the investigation and case processing.
It’s meant to be a lot safer for the involved people and also keep the criminal from interfering with the investigation.
Also our justice system and courts are very busy, which is why it takes longer.
Ultimately it’s a dangerous cocktail due to the prisons being full, which means the prisons normal divided sections (gang vs gang) cant be held and is a potential risky situation.
