Looking angry, fellow being caught and put back inside (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

remand

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'put back inside' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?

'looking angry fellow being caught' is the wordplay.
'looking angry' becomes 'red' (someone may go red when angry).
'fellow' becomes 'man' (fellow can mean a man).
'being caught' is an insertion indicator.
'red' placed around 'man' is 'REMAND'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for remand that I've seen before include "Send back into custody or bail" , "Keep in custody while waiting for trial" , "Commital to custody" , "Legally restrain" , "Return (often) to custody" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
