8. Remanded into custody
If the court has remanded me into custody, the reason for the decision will be set out in writing and I will be given help to understand it.
Being remanded into custody means you need to stay in secure accommodation until your next court appearance, and often until your trial is over.
The judge or magistrates must explain this to you clearly.
When you’re in custody, the custody staff will give you a written copy of the judge or magistrates’ explanation either by email or on paper.
Your Youth Justice Service (YJS) will be able to write a bail application for you while you’re in custody and your lawyer can ask for bail a number of times. The court must review your case if you’re in custody waiting for your trial for a certain amount of time.
