What is your source for all these claims? I can't think of ever having heard of someone being detained for the purpose of "preventing perjury/collusion/deception" in court. Usually pretrial detention is because the court determines the individual is physically dangerous to themselves or society...or because there's a flight risk.
Especially given that one is guaranteed access to council, and often is permitted visitors...

Granted, it has been handled as "contempt", but he has been confined to house arrest (and he lives in an NYC apartment) without being convicted of a crime. Also, note that this injustice has been meted out by the very same Judge Kaplan. One is tempted to wonder if SBF might have received worse treatment had he successfully defended the rights of Peruvian jungle-dwellers against polluting multinational firms.
