Being released from jail on “Own Recognizance” is basically like the ultimate “Get Out Of Jail Free” card. Most people are required to pay bail if they want to be released, which can be hundreds to thousands of dollars (or even in the millions!). But when the judge allows a defendant to be released on own recognizance, that means that defendant merely signs a document promising to appear for scheduled court. And with that, they are on their way – no money transfer whatsoever. Of course, they will need to keep their word, because if they don’t they can be arrested and then required to pay bail if they want to be released this second time.
A judge will grant a defendant’s own recognizance released on the gathering that this defendant is generally a wholesome individual who committed an innocent crime. They have demonstrated good behavior throughout their life and this was just one surprising minor hiccup. They will also likely have quite a few close relationships with others in the community, so that they are less likely to flee and have no one know where.
But, many people are not afforded this get out of jail free card; most people are required to pay for bail in some amount. These people then are also eligible for bail bonds, which are a more affordable alternative to cash bail. Bail bonds can be used from Porterville Bail Bond Store, California’s leading bail bond company with incredible success and high praise.
