preventive detention

Read a random definition: plea not pure

A quick definition of preventive detention:

Preventive detention is when someone is held in custody before they are found guilty of a crime. This can happen if the person is considered a risk to society or if they have a history of trying to escape. It can also be used for people who are mentally ill and may cause harm. Preventive detention is meant to keep people safe, but it can also be controversial because it means taking away someone's freedom before they have been proven guilty.

A more thorough explanation:

Preventive detention is a type of confinement that is imposed on a person who is suspected of committing a crime or is considered a threat to society. It is done to prevent the person from causing harm to others or escaping before their trial.

  • A person who has a history of violence and has been arrested for assault may be placed in preventive detention to ensure they do not harm anyone while awaiting trial.
  • A mentally ill person who has a history of violent behavior may be placed in preventive detention to prevent them from causing harm to themselves or others.

These examples illustrate how preventive detention is used to protect society from potential harm. It is a controversial practice because it involves depriving a person of their freedom before they have been convicted of a crime. However, it is sometimes necessary to ensure public safety.

Anyone know how long it takes to get aid package after getting admitted to UChicago or Northwestern?
I’d ask in the t14 chat bc lol it may be a bit until you can get someone who can answer that question here

@syddak: Oof tough spot. Congrats on the As. Did either indicate either via email/mail that they would be following up with aid, and if so, did they provide a time frame? It may be acceptable to email them and indicate seat deposits are fast approaching and you are curious if you can expect further info (aid) from the school to aid u in ur decision..
