Legal Rights of Detainees

Detainees have certain legal rights designed to protect them while in custody. These typically include the right to be informed of the charges against them, the right to legal representation, and the right to remain silent. Detainees also have the right to humane treatment and access to medical care. They should not face torture or inhumane treatment. Additionally, most jurisdictions require that detainees be brought before a judge within a specified time. These rights aim to ensure fair legal processes and protect individuals from abuse and wrongful detention.
