Abstract

PROBLEM: pretrial detention, conceived as a precautionary measure that ensures the presence of the accused during the development of the legal process, prevents obstruction of the investigation by temporarily restricting freedom while their legal situation is clarified. OBJECTIVE: Reflect on the concept of pretrial detention, its implications during the COVID-19 pandemic, and the mechanisms used by the State to safeguard the rights of those deprived of their freedom. METHOD: The historical methodology will be used to understand the development of the phenomenon, as well as the legislative approach to analyze the function of the law and its adaptation to the needs of society. RESULTS: The State, as the entity obliged to protect the rights and freedoms of citizens, must establish the ideal mechanisms to achieve its objective. CONCLUSION: It is not appropriate to consider this measure as an anticipated punishment, as this would imply a violation of guarantees; therefore, its application aims to prevent negative consequences for the proper development of the legal process.
