Among other things, witnesses told us that people awaiting trial currently make up 72% of the prison population. That means 28% of inmates are serving a sentence. I was surprised to learn that, and it seems absurd to me. Prisons are being built to prevent crime by sending people there to wait for their trial.
What do you think? Is that healthy? Is there a problem with the administration of the justice system? As a police officer, do you find it normal that 72% of the inmate population are inmates awaiting trial?
