Criminal Justice System Transforms and Pre-Trial Detention Reducing Strategies in Uganda: A Comparative Study

The Ugandan criminal justice system has faced challenges in reducing pre-trial detention times. A mixed-methods approach involving legal document analysis, interviews with stakeholders, and participant observation to assess the impact of reform initiatives. Pre-trial detention rates have shown an average reduction of 15% across selected districts after implementation of new detention protocols. The study concludes that strategic reforms in pre-trial detention processes are effective in mitigating delays and improving judicial efficiency. Stakeholders should continue to monitor reform impacts, while advocating for sustained support from government agencies.
