2. Includes only those persons held in detention more than four days. 18 U.S.C. § 3142(f) requires that the detention hearing be conducted within 5 days of the defendant’s initial appearance. For those persons detained 4 days or fewer, including those not detained, the average time held in detention ranges between 1 and 2 days.
