no bail
Detained until trial
No bail is the condition of being denied pretrial release, typically for defendants deemed flight risks or dangers to the community.
A judge may order no bail for serious violent crimes or when prior bail was violated: The accused murderer is being held without bail.
Also phrased as "held without bail" or "bail denied."
