arrestee
One in custody
An arrestee is a person who has been arrested—taken into custody by law enforcement.
The term appears primarily in legal and journalistic contexts: The arrestee was read her rights.
It's a functional word that fills a gap, since "arrested person" is clunky and "suspect" implies something different.
