What is the definition of a personal recognizance bond?
in Criminal Law
A personal recognizance bond is a type of bond in which a defendant gives their word that they will appear on their set court dates. The defendant will also acknowledge a debt to the court, and if the defendant fails to show up for their trial, they will have to pay that amount to the court, and the judge may revoke the defendant’s bond and give them jail time.
