The in-holding pre-trial population is largely under-represented, under-resourced, and understudied within academic penal studies (Anderson, Cochran, & Montes, 2021). Though pretrial detention is common (nearly half a million people are currently in pretrial detention today in the United States) and becoming increasingly more so over the last several decades, little is qualitatively understood about how pretrial detainees experience this detention and their removal from their family, friends, communities, and their lives.
