Many incarcerated people in the US are being held pre-trial. Here's a quick quote I found on Wikipedia: > In 2020, the non-profit Prison Policy Initiative issued a report,"Mass Incarceration: The Whole Pie 2020," that said, based on the most recent census data and information from the Bureau of Prisons, an overwhelming majority of inmates in county and municipal jails were being held pre-trial, without having been convicted of a crime > In 2017, 482,100 inmates in federal and state prisons were held pre-trial. That's not 3 million but it's quite a lot.
