Around 3.3 million people worldwide are in pretrial detention, and 14 million people are held in such detention per year. Despite the high numbers, remand imprisonment has received little attention in penal theories. Over the past couple of decades, Turkey has constructed high-security remand prisons for young pretrial detainees, indicating a transition towards securitization in the form of remand imprisonment. In these prisons, the element of ‘space’ and spatial control has taken precedence, while ‘labour/discipline’ and ‘time’ have lost significance, reflecting the securitization process. Research conducted in juvenile courts and prisons in 2014–2015 demonstrates how marginalized youth end up in remand prisons that have become social control facilities. Remand imprisonment is interpreted as a crime control and deterrence mechanism by both the prisoners and legal practitioners, and attains roles in crime control that correspond to the residual welfare regime.

全世界约有330万人被审前拘留，每年有1400万人被这种拘留。尽管人数众多，但还押囚禁在刑法理论中很少受到关注。在过去的几十年中，土耳其为年轻的审前被拘留者建造了高安全性的还押监狱，这表明以还押监禁的形式向证券化过渡。在这些监狱中，“空间”和空间控制的要素处于优先地位，而“劳动/纪律”和“时间”则失去了意义，反映了证券化过程。2014-2015年在少年法院和监狱中进行的研究表明，边缘化的青年如何最终进入还押监狱，这些监狱已成为社会控制设施。
