Remand (detention) 羁押

The remand or detention of a suspect is the process of keeping a person who has been arrested in custody—normally in a remand prison—prior to a trial, conviction, or sentencing. The word "remand" is used generally in common law jurisdictions to describe pre-trial detention; other legal systems use varying terms and phrases. Pre-trial detention differs fundamentally from post-adjudicatory detention, or imprisonment.
