Who is on remand?
There are different types of remand custody. Until a prisoner is sentenced, the treatment they receive in custody reflects the fundamental principle that an individual is innocent until proven guilty. The majority of those who are in custody on remand are remanded in custody awaiting trial and have not been convicted of a criminal offence. A prisoner who is held on Judges Remand has been convicted and is waiting to be sentenced. As a rule once on Judges Remand a prisoner will follow the same regime as a convicted and sentenced prisoner.
