Not all incarcerated people are prisoners though. Plenty of folks in jail are simply too poor to afford bonding out before their trial date.

- calvinmorrison 4y agoWell we can mince words, but functionally you are deprived of your freedom while being presumed innocent if the government decides it so.
- mcherm 4y agoPerhaps you have a different term besides "prisoner" to describe someone who is imprisoned before their trial rather than after. But the parent comment is correct: whatever you call them, these people are not afforded all of the rights that the rest of us have.
- c0m 4y agoAre you confusing the term 'prisoner' with 'criminal'? Prisoner is used to refer to people waiting for trial frequently, and dictionaries seem to support this definition.
