Release on recognizance (ROR) is actually the pretrial release of a defendant without the need for them to post bail or a bond. ROR is typically granted to defendants who do not pose a flight risk or a danger to the community. Therefore, there is no requirement for a minimum cash deposit. However, some jurisdictions may require defendants to pay a small administrative fee or undergo certain conditions, such as regular check-ins with a pretrial services officer.
