Abstract: The principle of "innocent until proven guilty" is a cornerstone of democratic justice systems, theoretically safeguarded by the right to reasonable bail. However, contemporary practices in many jurisdictions, including Canada, reveal a system of pre-trial detention that often functions as a form of punitive social control before any adjudication of guilt. This paper argues that the convergence of three systemic failures, the expansive use of pre-trial detention, violations of the right to a timely bail hearing, and the inhumane conditions of detention facilities, fundamentally undermines the presumption of innocence and violates domestic and international human rights standards. Through a review of legal scholarship, judicial decisions, and correctional reports, this research demonstrates that these factors collectively create a reality where pre-trial detention becomes a punishment in itself, disproportionately impacting marginalized populations and eroding the integrity of the criminal justice process.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
