A pre-trial release is a governmental approach that obtains the release of defendants from a local jail without requiring them to post a bond.

No fund is required for the release, only a promise to appear in the court.

When is a pre-trial release used?

Pre-trial release programs are used to obtain the release of individuals charged with both misdemeanors and felonies.

Earlier, these were used for criminals with minor charges, but now, even a violent offender can go for it.

What happens after a defendant is released?

Defendants must promise to appear in court at their hearing.

Some do not and eventually become fugitives.

No one is held financially responsible for the defendant or to ensure that they appear in the court.

What happens when you fail to appear?

If a defendant fails to appear, local authorities are called upon to get them back.
