Critical analysis reveals the need for reforming pre-trial detention in Uganda, suggesting improvements for fairer justice delivery.
Pre-trial detention in Uganda's criminal justice system is a significant issue, with many accused persons held for extended periods before their cases are heard. No empirical data were collected; instead, a critical analysis of existing literature on criminal justice reform in Uganda was employed. Uganda's legal system can learn from African jurisprudence, emphasising procedural fairness and timely justice delivery as core principles. Reforms should prioritise judicial independence, improve pre-trial procedures, and enhance community-based alternatives to detention where feasible.
