personal recognizance

The release of a defendant in a criminal case in which the court takes the defendant’s word that he or she will appear for a scheduled matter or when told to appear.

• This type of release dispenses with the necessity of the person’s posting money or having a surety sign a bond with the court. [Cases: Bail 40. C.J.S. Bail; Release and Detention Pending Proceedings§ 8.]
