Audiência de Custódia

Audiência de Custódia, or Custody Hearing, is a legal process where a detained individual is brought before a judge shortly after arrest. The purpose is to evaluate the lawfulness of the detention, ensure the person's rights are protected, and determine if they should be released or kept in custody. This hearing aims to prevent unnecessary or prolonged detention without proper justification, promoting transparency and fairness in the criminal justice system. It typically occurs within 24 to 48 hours of arrest and involves assessing the circumstances of the detention, the person's conditions, and any relevant legal considerations.
