When a judge incarcerates a client awaiting trial, each of whom has not been convicted and is therefore presumed innocent, the practical result is that they go straight to sentencing without passing go, without collecting 200 dollars.
Pre-trial detention should be reserved for the worst, or most potentially violent alleged offenders. But it's not.
And the bigger problem is pre-trial detention facilities are often worse than the prisons where a client may end up serving their actual sentence. The deprivations and danger are prevalent, and the ability to defend themselves and provide meaningful assistance to their lawyer is therefore far more difficult.
It's time to rethink pre-trial detention in the federal system.
