New York State Pretrial Release Services Standards
State Specific-NY
These standards for Pretrial Release Services are based upon the laws of New York State, which direct the use of pretrial release in accordance with the defendant’s likelihood of appearance in court and his/her capacity to satisfy other court-imposed conditions of release. These Standards define how pretrial services should operate in providing judges with an alternative to the use of money bail or other forms of financial surety to ensure the defendant’s appearance in court.
Pretrial Release Conditions
National
The types of bond and additional conditions that can be imposed by courts are known as conditions of pretrial release. Some state laws are more prescriptive about what kind and under what circumstances release conditions should be imposed and specifically authorize individual conditions of release. Most courts, however, have broad discretion to impose any condition determined to be reasonably necessary to ensure the appearance of the defendant or the safety of victims, witnesses and the public.
Comprehensive state information on the most common statutory conditions of pretrial release is available in the interactive map on this link.
