Description: More information: http://ec.europa.eu/avservices/video/video_prod_en.cfm?type=detail&prodid=915&src=1 The excessive use (and length) of pre-trial detention is one of the main causes of prison overpopulation. Owing to the risk of flight, non-resident suspects are often remanded in custody, while residents benefit from alternative measures. According to general principles of law, custody pending trial shall be regarded as an exceptional measure and the widest possible use should be made of non-custodial supervision measures. However, the different alternatives to pre-trial detention that exist in national law (e.g. reporting to the police authorities or travel prohibition) cannot presently be transposed or transferred across borders as States do not recognise foreign judicial decisions on these matters.

lfbuk ::: Favorites You see in the UK we don't have this stupid law, which is why we do not want to loose our Habias Corpus. Our system is better as your innocent till proved guilty, unlike the rest of the EU where you have to prove your innocence! 07-07-13 13:36:37 _____________________________________________________
retrostudent ::: Favorites Hey, Americans, note the lack of handcuffs and leg irons in the prison. Europe has the worlds highest human rights standards, let's keep it that way. 07-07-18 15:18:42 _____________________________________________________
