Once in jail, most rights are gone, other than not being beat up,etc. After the hearing, he/she will get the information as to being convicted or let out. In the meantime, follow the rules and don't try to make waves. Lawyers fight for your rights, if they are being violated. But at this early stage, find out by going to a library and reading up on civil rights, or google it. Good luck.

They have a right to an adequate diet, medical care if they need it, medications if they take them, visits with their attorney, access to toilets and showers, and whatever provisions can be made to accommodate any disability they have, including non-English speaking inmates. If they follow rules, they may also have family members visit, commissary purchases, if they have the funds, and exercise periods. If they are aggressive, in a lot of smaller jails short on manpower, they probably won't be getting a lot of outdoor exercise. That's about all I can think of off the top of my head.

The same as you would have in open public. There are things that they can't do to you, but it their word against yours. If they aren't leaving bruises, or bleeding wounds, then they are probably doing what the situation allows them to do. Obey the laws and perhaps next time will not exist because of obedience to the laws of society.

Not a whole lot. Most of them are gone for now. You still have the rights that you would expect. Basically to food and water, shelter, and to have visitors at given times.

I think once you are incarcerated you trade your civil rights for an inmates rights or a crimonals rights. That is all that right to a fair trial and reasonable conditions.

Depending on the offence. Someone can be "detained" by
order of the judge until hearing, if they are a flight rist, of a
threat to someone else if let out. <}:-})
