The whole conceit of pre-trial detention is that we do not know if the detainees are guilty.

Which does not disprove the implication I made, since you assumed the hypothesis to be false. Given that they are guilty, would you still support them? There sure seems to be a lot of “we should be nicer to thieves” in this thread, so I think we already know the answer.

I don't support thieves. This hypothetical where we know guilt before trial is not especially interesting or enlightening.
