What is it called when a person accused of a federal crime is held in jail without the option of paying for temporary release?

Respuesta :

preventative detention

The correct answer was preventative detention.

This ability to withdraw a suspect's ability to leave on bail is only used in certain circumstances. If the person commits a high level federal crime or if the prosecution can develop an argument showing how this individual could be a threat to American society, these individuals can be contained without the chance to be released. The safety of society and the chance of the alleged criminal trying to leave are other factors that judges consider when using preventative detention.
