A person charged with a crime is sent to prison to await trial - HSC - SSCE Legal Studies - Question 2 - 2022 - Paper 1

The correct answer to this question is D. Remand.

Explanation: Remand is a legal term referring to the process of sending a person back to custody (such as a prison) while awaiting trial. This happens after an individual is charged with a crime and requires them to remain in prison until their court appearance, as opposed to being released on bail.

To clarify the other options:

1. Bail: This is a monetary amount or agreement an accused makes to ensure their appearance in court; it allows the person to be released from custody.
2. Parole: This refers to the conditional release of a prisoner before their complete sentence is served.
3. Probation: This is a court-imposed sanction where the offender serves their sentence under supervision in the community rather than in prison.
