detention review hearings

Detention review hearings are legal sessions where authorities assess whether a detained individual should remain in custody or be released. Typically held when someone is detained before trial or sentencing, these hearings allow for the person, their legal representative, and other involved parties to present evidence and arguments. The goal is to ensure that detention is necessary, justified, and proportional to the circumstances, and to decide if conditions for release can be safely met. Decisions are based on factors like risk, flight potential, and public safety, aiming to balance individual rights with societal interests.
