If the court decides to put you on remand it means you will go to prison until your hearing at a magistrates’ court. If you are under 18 you will be taken to a secure centre for young people, not an adult prison. You will probably be put on remand if: you have been charged with a serious crime, eg armed robbery. you have been convicted of a serious crime in the past. the police think you may not go to your court hearing. the police think you may commit another crime while on bail.
