Was remanded to prison Explanation: When someone is remanded to prison it means he or she is ordered held without bail (due to flight risk, danger to others, seriousness of crime, etc) and remanded to prison or detained pending trial or the next proceeding. "Ontem, após ser preso, a delegada Raquel Dornelles pediu à Justiça que decretasse a prisão preventiva de Daniel, já que ele responde a quatro processos por furtos e a suspeita é que ele tenha cometido ao menos 50 furtos do tipo nos últimos dois anos." She asked the judge to order Daniel be remanded to jail (prison) ... because he was a suspect in at least 50 more robberies. In other words he may present a risk to the community at present because he is a suspect in similar crimes. This isn't uncommon in the US. What is illegal is detaining someone because he or she may commit a crime. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 11 hrs (2013-01-29 10:02:20 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/preventive det... http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Remand Remand If the person is being held and is before the judge to set conditions of his release (before trial for example), the judge, hearing arguments, will order he be remanded (sent back to prison to await trial). "TO REMAND. To send back or recommit. When a prisoner is brought before a judge on a habeas corpus, for the purpose of obtaining his liberty, the judge hears the case, and either discharges him or not; when there is cause for his detention, he remands him." http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/Remand Preventative detention U.S. use of preventative detention "Preventive detention is a relatively recent phenomenon. Before the 1970s the general practice in criminal courts was to set bail for almost all criminal defendants. For defendants accused of particularly heinous crimes, courts would set the amount of bail so high that the defendants were unlikely to be released. Defendants in murder cases were held in jail without bail through the end of trial." "Congress created a federal preventive detention system for criminal defendants in the Federal Bail Reform Act of 1984 (18 U.S.C.A. §§ 3141 et seq. [1996]). The act is similar to the District of Columbia law with several exceptions. Under the act, the prosecution is not required to notify a defendant that it intends to present evidence of his past crimes. The federal act allows a court to accept evidence from the prosecution without giving the defendant an opportunity to question the evidence. The federal act does not limit the defendant's detention; a defendant may be held without bail until he is found not guilty. Finally, the class of defendants eligible for preventive detention is broader in the federal act than in the District of Columbia law. The federal act authorizes the court to conduct a preventive detention hearing upon a motion made by the prosecutor where the defendant is accused of (1) a crime of violence, (2) a crime for which the maximum sentence is life in prison or death, (3) an offense that is punishable by a prison term of ten years or more under the federal Controlled Substances Act or the Maritime Drug Law Enforcement Act, or (4) any felony if the person has been convicted of two or more violent offenses or federal drug offenses. Furthermore, a defendant may be held in preventive detention prior to trial if the court finds that he or she may flee or intimidate, threaten, or injure a prospective witness or juror. The court can make such a finding on its own, without a motion filed by the prosecutor." http://legal-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/preventive det...
