More than half a million people held in jails across the US are pre-trial detainees<\/a>. In other words, these are the people who are held in custodial facilities until a court schedules their case hearing. The unfortunate fact is that many of these detainees are not even guilty yet they\u2019re serving jail time solely because the courts have imposed hefty bail amounts, which they cannot afford to pay.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the US, the maximum time for detaining an accused <\/a>person before trial ranges between 50-60 days. However, the time can increase if the bail amount is not paid. In any case, it is not possible to be released from legal custody without posting bail and paying the bail amount.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what can happen if one cannot post bail.<\/p>\n

Additional Count Charges<\/h2>\n

In most cases, when the bail amount is specified, and a bail plea is accepted, the accused can walk free until the case hearing is ordered. If the accused is found guilty, then the bail amount is not refunded, and they have to do respective jail time. However, if the accused cannot afford bail and does jail time, then two things happen; they are assumed to be guilty and that they have disrespected court by not paying the amount. This implies that they are charged for the crime and their inability to pay for bail amount.<\/p>\n

Indefinite Detention Period<\/h2>\n

As mentioned above, the typical detention period before a case trial begins is 60 days. But the detention period varies from state to state. If one is convicted, they have to serve the appropriate jail time. But if not convicted and unable to finance bail, the detention period can extend to an indefinite time.<\/p>\n

Mental and Physical Exhaustion<\/h2>\n

The feeling of being detained without even conviction solely because of financial constraints is heart wrenching. Those prisoners who suffer from such painstaking situations often succumb to different types of mental health issues. Behavioral scientists agree that prisons exacerbate mental health problems<\/a>.<\/p>\n
