Rhode Island Bail and Recognizance Conditions are a form of pretrial release, allowing a defendant to be released from custody without having to post bail. This type of release is typically used in misdemeanor cases, as opposed to felony cases where bail is required. There are two types of Rhode Island Bail and Recognizance Conditions: a recognizance and a surety bond. A recognizance is an agreement between the defendant and the court, in which the defendant promises to appear in court as required and abide by any other conditions set by the court. A surety bond is an arrangement in which a third party (typically an insurance company) agrees to pay the full amount of bail if the defendant fails to appear in court. In both cases, the defendant is required to comply with conditions set by the court such as restrictions on travel, drug or alcohol use, or contact with the alleged victim.
