PROCEDURAL BASIS OF DETENTION IN PRISON: ANALYSIS OF UZBEK LEGISLATION AND INTERNATIONAL STANDARDS
Abstract
The article thoroughly analyzes the legal essence of the institution of detention in pre-trial detention facilities, its impact on constitutional freedom, and its role in ensuring public safety. Article 221 of the Criminal Procedure Code of Uzbekistan is assessed as the main legal mechanism indicating that detention should be based on factual circumstances, limited by specific normative criteria, and applied through a three-stage procedural filter. The article reveals the functional significance of procedural guarantees in protecting human rights, such as the requirements for documenting detention protocols, hiring a lawyer, and notifying relatives
