The Ugandan criminal justice system has faced challenges in reducing pre-trial detention times. A mixed-methods approach involving legal document analysis, interviews with stakeholders, and participant observation to assess the impact of reform initiatives. Pre-trial detention rates have shown an average reduction of 15% across selected districts after implementation of new detention protocols. The study concludes that strategic reforms in pre-trial detention processes are effective in mitigating delays and improving judicial efficiency. Stakeholders should continue to monitor reform impacts, while advocating for sustained support from government agencies.
Ojogo Kakookwe (2000) studied this question.
