What is remand imprisonment?

Answer:
Remand Imprisonment is similar to the Norwegian practice of "Varetektsfengsling". It is essentially when the main suspect, in a criminal case in which the minimum sentence is 6 months, is believed to pose a flight risk, or to attempt to tamper with evidence. The suspect can then be jailed for a (relatively short) period of time. In this time the suspect is often deprived of visiting rights and also deprived of any communication other than to his attorney.


It is interesting to note, that although the suspect has been jailed, he is still considered innocent until proven otherwise.
