Which bond type imposes conditions such as staying away from certain people or refraining from alcohol?

• A. Cash Bond
• B. Personal Recognizance Bond
• C. Conditional Release Bond
• D. Unsecured Bond

Answer: (C)

This item focuses on releases that come with attached conditions. A conditional release bond is when the court allows you to be released but imposes specific requirements, such as staying away from certain people or refraining from alcohol. If you violate these conditions, your release can be revoked and you may be taken back into custody. This differs from a cash bond, where you post a set amount of money to secure release with no built‑in behavior rules; a personal recognizance bond, where you simply promise to appear without posting money and typically without extra conditions; and an unsecured bond, where you pledge to pay the full amount if you fail to appear but without ongoing behavioral restrictions. The defining feature here is the court-imposed conditions governing your release.
