Quick question

Since much Googling has failed me. You're an American; you've been charged with murder and refused bail, they're going to hold you in prison till your trial.  In the UK, this would be termed 'remanded in custody'. What would it be called in the US?

(I'm sure I asked this once before but darned if I can find the post so maybe not.)
Many TIA.

ETA. Apparently it's pretty much the same, remanded into custody. Thank you everyone.

If Law and Order is correct, it is indeed remand. Just saw one last night, where the guy was remanded.

ETA: Here it is:

So it's the same?
