There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.

There are people who are awaiting trail who are in prison. These people are have not been convicted of committing a crime, and are therefor not criminals.

...but honestly, most of the people awaiting trial have actually been convicted of other crimes in the past, so they could still be called criminals.

If they're awaiting trial, they are in jail, not prison.
