"Dandridge said the only human contact Blake has is a once-a-week handshake from a priest who visits the actor in his jail cell."

From everything I've heard about this case; He's guilty.

However, bail (or even denying bail to a person before a trial) is done not to punish the not-yet-convicted suspect, but to assure their appearance before the court.

With that in mind, perhaps the pre-trial incarceration conditions are a little harsh. In Blake’s case he’s probably going to be convicted anyway. In many cases though, the defendant is not guilty and acquitted in the next phase.

This works out OK for the guilty, because the judge usually gives them credit for time served. For the innocent however, they get no credit for the time spent behind bars with their lives, jobs and families disrupted.

Seems like we could have a more equitable system.

And from everything I've heard about this case; the prosecution jumped the gun, and arrested the "obvious" suspect in the hope that they would *later* be able to build the case.
