Remand

If the court decides to put you on remand it means you鈥檒l go to prison until your trial begins.

If you鈥檙e under 18 you鈥檒l be taken to a secure centre for young people, not an adult prison.

You may be put on remand if:

  • you鈥檝e been convicted of a crime in the past
  • the court thinks you might not go to your court hearing
  • the court thinks you might commit a crime while on bail
  • you have been given bail before and not stuck to the terms
