Sixth Circuit -- Gary Fields v. Henry County, Tennessee

County requirement that all domestic violence arrestees who are judged to pose a threat to the victim be detained for twelve hours (which, in practice, was extended to all domestic violence arrestees) does not violate 8th Amendment.

Challenging the systematic nature of a bond schedule is a due process claim.

No denial of bail in 12 hour hold - there is no right to speedy bail.

State pretrial hearings requirements are not constitutionally protected liberty interests for purposes of a Due Process claim.

Under Tennessee law, deft must prove feasibility of release on recognizance - bail is the default.
