구금 (Detention) is a legal process where an individual is held in custody by authorities, typically due to suspected involvement in a crime. This can occur before a trial or as a result of a legal order. The purpose of detention is to ensure that the individual appears in court and to prevent potential harm to the community. During detention, individuals may be held in facilities such as jails or detention centers. They have certain rights, including access to legal representation and the ability to challenge the legality of their detention. The conditions and duration of detention can vary based on local laws and regulations.
