What does Released on Recognizance mean?
If a judge has determined that a defendant does not pose a threat of flight or other reasons that may not warrant a defendant posting bail the judge may rule that the defendant may be released on their own recognizance. This means simply that no bond is due to the court and that only a signature promise by the defendant is required to secure release.
