In many countries, overreliance on detention is a major problem both at the pretrial and post-conviction stage of criminal proceedings. In seeking to reduce detention and the associated burden on criminal justice infrastructure, countries must balance the protection of due process rights with the need to protect society.
The Open Society Foundations host a panel discussion on strategies for criminal detention reform and the challenges to implementation.
