In Federal Court, bail is not automatic. Even if bail is granted, the judge may order that you undergo drug testing, post cash or property, surrender your passport, comply with restrictions on travel or residence, comply with a curfew or meet other restrictions. You also may be placed on electronic monitoring.
You will probably be supervised by a pre-trial services officer. If you violate the terms of your release, they may send you back to jail. Some infractions may increase the duration of an existing sentence, and other infractions may be used to charge you with a new offense. You will get credit for the time granted if you are later found guilty, unless you are serving another sentence when you are detained under your federal charge. For more information, contact your attorney or the U.S. District Court Clerk's Office at 302-573-6170.
