While an indictment is a formal accusation of a crime committed, a criminal defendant is still presumed innocent until proven guilty. That is why the U.S. Constitution and the Bail Reform Act typically favor pretrial release under the least restrictive conditions. Even so, federal criminal defendants are ordered to be held in custody until their trial every day.
