Getting Out of Jail Free
Sometimes people are released "on their own recognizance," or "O.R." A defendant released O.R. must simply sign a promise to show up in court. He doesn't have to post bail.
A defendant commonly requests release on his own recognizance at his first court appearance. If the judge denies the request, he then asks for low bail.
In general, defendants who are released O.R. have strong ties to a community, making them unlikely to flee. Factors that may convince a judge to grant an O.R. release include the following:
1.The defendant has family members (most likely parents, a spouse or children) living in the community.
2.The defendant has resided in the community for many years.
3.The defendant has a job.
4.The defendant has little or no past criminal record, or any previous criminal problems were minor and occurred many years earlier.
5.The defendant has been charged with previous crimes and has always appeared as required.


KNOW YOUR RIGHTS
Bail is not a privilege, It is a right! Under the United States and New Jersey Constitutions bail is a right guaranteed to all of us. The New Jersey Constitution, Article I, Section 12, states that excessive bail shall not be required. The U.S. Constitution is similar. In either case, the principal of bail is often misunderstood. The primary purpose of bail is to assure the defendants appearance at all court proceedings. It is not intended to punish the defendant since at this early stage of the proceedings, the defendant has often not even been indicted, much less convicted of a crime. All persons accused of crimes are presumed to be innocent until proven guilty.
The New Jersey Court Rules set out the terms and conditions for granting bail. R 3:26-1
