If a person agrees to undergo preventive imprisonment, they will be taken into custody before being formally charged with a crime. This type of imprisonment is usually used when there is a risk that the person may flee or commit additional offenses if they are allowed to remain free while awaiting trial. The person will be held in a detention facility until their trial or until a judge deems it appropriate for them to be released. It is important for the person to have legal representation during this time to ensure their rights are protected and to help them navigate the legal process.
