In my experience, whether they are in custody or out of custody, people plead guilty to deal with the stress of attending court, whether it's because of a denial of bail, of having to attend the remand court over and over again, or of having to miss work to come and attend, which certainly disadvantages all involved. There is a serious problem with incentivizing guilty pleas in our courtrooms across the country.
