**Pre-Trial Detention**

Pre-trial detention refers to the practice of holding an accused individual in custody before their trial has taken place. This measure is typically used to ensure the person’s appearance in court, prevent interference with the investigation, or protect public safety. Pre-trial detention is a critical aspect of the criminal justice process, balancing the rights of the accused with the interests of justice. It is important to understand the legal criteria, duration limits, and potential impacts on the accused during this phase.
