The Supreme Court decided in United States v. Salerno and Cafero (1987) that the use of preventive detention is constitutional. The Court ruled that it is permissible to detain defendants without bail if they pose a danger to the community, are a flight risk, or if it is necessary to ensure their appearance at trial. The decision was based on the belief that the government has a compelling interest in protecting public safety and ensuring that defendants appear in court.
