Explanation:

Pretrial detention refers to detaining of an accused person in a criminal case before the trial has taken place, either because of a failure to post bail or due to denial of release under a pretrial detention statute.

Research as shown that;

In large urban areas, Black felony defendants are over 25% more likely than white defendants to be held pretrial. Across the country, Black and brown defendants are at least 10-25% more likely than white defendants to be detained pretrial or to have to pay money bail. Young Black men are about 50% more likely to be detained pretrial than white defendants. Black and brown defendants receive bail amounts that are twice as high as bail set for white defendants – and they are less likely to be able to afford it. Even in states that have implemented pretrial reforms, racial disparities persist in pretrial detention.
