No, it's not for after conviction. It's for when I'm being held before conviction. My lawyer gets to make the government prove that they have a reason to hold me. It's why a cop can't throw me in prison for six months for looking at him funny.
It may have some application after conviction too. I'm not a lawyer. This sort of thing is taught in high school, though, and it's important enough that it should be remembered.
