release conditions

Release conditions are the specific rules set by a court that someone must follow after being released from custody, either before their trial or sentencing. These conditions are designed to ensure the person appears in court and does not pose a risk to others. Examples include staying within a certain area, avoiding contact with certain people, regularly checking in with authorities, or refraining from alcohol or drugs. If someone breaks these conditions, they may be returned to custody or face additional charges. Basically, release conditions serve as the court’s way of managing risk and ensuring accountability while the person is free.
