¹ An ac­cused per­son shall re­main at liberty. He or she may be sub­jec­ted to com­puls­ory meas­ures in­volving depriva­tion of liberty only in ac­cord­ance with the pro­vi­sions of this Code.

² Com­puls­ory meas­ures in­volving depriva­tion of liberty must be re­voked as soon as:

a.

their re­quire­ments are no longer ful­filled;

b.

the term of the meas­ure spe­cified by this Code or by a court has ex­pired; or

c.

al­tern­at­ive meas­ures achieve the same pur­pose.

³ Re­mand and pre­vent­ive de­ten­tion may not be of longer dur­a­tion than the an­ti­cip­ated cus­todi­al sen­tence.
