The presumption of incarceration refers to the legal principle that individuals accused of certain crimes may be detained in custody rather than released on bail, especially if they are deemed a flight risk or a danger to the community. This presumption is often applied in serious offenses, reflecting societal interests in public safety and the integrity of the judicial process.
