What will be an ideal response?
Pretrial releases are for the accused that don't pose a significant flight risk or for those that may have committed a relatively minor offense. This allows the accused to not be detained during the court proceedings.
Bail is a pledge by the accused to appear at court proceedings and in response the accused will pay a sum of money or property if they do not appear. If the defendant can't afford to post bail they may use a bail bondsman who will post the bail for the defendant for an additional fee.
Release on recognizance is an unsecured pretrial release of an accused person with the assumption that he or she will show up for subsequently scheduled court hearings.
