Danish term

varetægtssurrogat

Danish to English Medical Medical (general) medical/legal
Du har, som patient i varetægtssurrogat, ikke adgang til at bruge mobiltelefon eller andet udstyr.

Does anyone know if there is an equivalent term for this? As far as I can see, you would describe the circumstances (individuals who have been transferred to a psychiatric facility while serving a sentence) but perhaps there is indeed a similar term in English?

My deadline is 4 pm today, March 14, Pacific Time - tak!

CanE remanded in: forensic psychiatric custody

No variety of English specified in the question asked out of Canada, so I am not going to hazard a BrE or ScotsE equivalent.
Example sentence:

Older people in custody in a forensic psychiatric facility, prevalence of dementia, and community reintegration needs: an exploratory analysis

BrE: Broadmoor Hospital is a high-security psychiatric hospital in Crowthorne, Berkshire, England

Note from asker:
That's a good point, Adrian. I'll revisit the term throughout the day and decide a bit later. Tak for the input! (good with a Danish link but the English terminology from Canada definitely sounds better)
