Derechos del prisionero sobre detenciones y disposición de cargos en Carolina del Sur

Explicación Simple

Si estás en la cárcel y hay cargos en tu contra, tienes el derecho de saber de qué se trata. También puedes pedir que esos cargos se resuelvan rápidamente, lo que significa que no pueden dejarte esperando para siempre.

Es como si estuvieras en una fila para comprar boletos, y tienes el derecho de saber cuánto tiempo más tendrás que esperar. Si decides que ya es hora de que te atiendan, puedes pedir que te den tu boleto y que te atiendan pronto.

Ejemplo Práctico

La prisión informa a los fiscales, y si no hay juicio antes de que regrese a su celda original, el cargo se elimina.
