In the US that's called "remanded without bail".
In the US when you're arrested you go to jail (which is distinct from prison, which is for long-term convicts).
When a person is arrested in the USA, one of the first courts is the "Bail Hearing" which determines how the accused person will be kept until their trial. They may be sent home, or given a GPS ankle-monitor, or they may be told they have to pay a large "bail bond", which is a deposit that they will lose if they fail to show up for trial and they will get the money back after the trial, or they may be just taken to jail until the conviction if the judge thinks they're too dangerous.
- somenameforme 4y agoJail isn't just for "dangerous" individuals. SBF is a young billionaire, already living abroad, who could easily spend the rest of his life in prison. He is the textbook definition of a flight risk, which is yet another thing that makes the slowness of the case all the more absurd. He could, in the worst case, simply relocate to a country without an extradition clause and add their leadership onto his little black book of "donations."
