A quick definition of interim committitur:

Interim committitur: A court order that says a person must go to jail until the court decides what to do next.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Interim committitur is a Latin term that means "in the meantime, let him be committed." It refers to a court order that directs a defendant to be incarcerated while awaiting further action.

Example 1: A defendant is arrested for a serious crime and brought before a judge. The judge decides that the defendant is a flight risk and orders an interim committitur, meaning the defendant will be held in jail until the trial.

Example 2: A defendant is charged with violating probation and brought before a judge. The judge orders an interim committitur, meaning the defendant will be held in jail until a hearing can be held to determine if the probation was actually violated.

These examples illustrate how interim committitur is used to keep a defendant in custody until further action can be taken. It is often used when a judge believes that the defendant is a flight risk or a danger to the community.
