The likely context is "imprisoned without trial" or "imprisoned for things you did not do." Under the US Constitution, this could refer to the concept of "habeas corpus" (proof of a crime) and one's right to a fair and speedy trial, to legal representation, and to a trial by a jury of one's peers. There do still exist a number of situations, especially concerning terrorism, where individuals may find themselves detained without benefit of counsel or trial.
