In my local county (in Texas), there was a guy in jail for 5 years without trial (I think he’s going in 6 years without trial, but a go-fund-me paid his bail last year), and 2 years in jail without trial is not uncommon.
This is only local jails, which makes sense as people are waiting trial then move on to long term prison.

I agree. The right to a speedy trial not being observed is an issue.
