| Definitions | Remand – Until a prisoner is sentenced, in theory they should be treated as innocent until proven guilty. Prisoners in custody on remand are those awaiting commencement or continuation of trial prior to verdict (untried). The remand category also includes those prisoners that are convicted unsentenced. These are prisoners that have been convicted but are still waiting to be sentenced. |
