This is a non-sequitur. Other than the "presumption of innocence", a basic tenet of our legal system, on what basis can you say that people in jail awaiting trial are innocent? At the bail hearing, you are released on your own recognizance, a bail amount is set, or you are remanded if considered dangerous or a flight risk. Guilt or innocence is for a jury to decide.
