Holding cells: In addition to police custody cells, there may be separate holding cells, where detainees are held for 10-12 hours – i.e. not for an overnight stay. This often happens at courthouses, for example, where the accused are held during trials or while awaiting an appearance before a judge. 2, record 1, English, - holding%20cell

Cellules de détention provisoire: outre les cellules destinées à la garde à vue, il existe d’autres cellules de détention provisoire, dans lesquelles un suspect peut être détenu pour une période de 10-12 heures – autrement dit, il n’est pas censé y passer la nuit. Ces cellules se trouvent souvent au palais de justice, par exemple, où les accusés sont détenus à l’occasion du procès ou dans l’attente de la comparution devant le juge. 2, record 1, French, - cellule%20de%20d%C3%A9tention%20provisoire

Calabozos de retención: Aparte de los calabozos policiales, puede existir otro tipo de calabozos de retención en los que se recluye a los detenidos durante 10 o 12 horas, es decir, no para que pasen la noche. Ese suele ser el caso de los calabozos de los tribunales, por ejemplo, donde los acusados permanecen recluidos durante los juicios o en espera de comparecer ante el juez. 1, record 1, Spanish, - calabozo%20de%20retenci%C3%B3n
